Emanuel Tripodi after first session as Quilmes boss: «I’m at home here» | OneFootball

Emanuel Trípodi led his first training session as Quilmes coach this Tuesday following Leandro Gracián’s resignation. The former goalkeeper began working with the first team at the Anexo and made it clear what his footballing idea will be ahead of Saturday’s match against Patronato.

After the 1-0 defeat to Colegiales, which led to Gracián’s departure, Trípodi took charge of the team with the goal of turning things around and moving El Cervecero away from the relegation spots.

At a press conference, the newly appointed interim coach said he wants a team that takes the initiative. “I like a team that takes the initiative, presses after losing the ball. If you want to be proactive, you have to have the ball,” he said.

He also stressed the importance of the players’ commitment to the club: “It’s important to get the message across to the players that they must commit to this shirt.”

Regarding the team’s current situation, Trípodi said he is not worried about taking over in a difficult context. “The situation doesn’t intimidate me, I feel comfortable at the club,” he stated.

He also highlighted that the immediate objective is to rebuild confidence and get results. “The most important thing we’re going to sort out in the short term is how to win Saturday’s match,” and he added: “We’re going to Patronato looking to win the game. It could be the starting point for the boys to gain confidence.”

Bindella returned to training and two youth players were called up

One of the day’s developments was the return of Agustín Bindella, who rejoined work with the first team after not being considered during Leandro Gracián’s spell in charge.

In addition, forward/winger Gonzalo Vega and center-back Santino Rodríguez were promoted from the reserve team and took part in training with the senior squad.

Three absences in training

The main concern of the day was a few important absences.

With only a few days of work ahead, Trípodi began outlining his project at the helm of El Cervecero, who will look to change the image shown against Colegiales and start picking up points again to move the team away from the relegation zone.
