Football world bids farewell to Miguel Ángel Russo | OneFootball

Miguel Ángel Russo passed away this Wednesday surrounded by his family, and the football world is in mourning. The Boca head coach left this world at the age of 69, and everyone in football is saying goodbye and feeling his loss.

The football world was shaken upon hearing the news of Miguel Ángel Russo’s passing. The 69-year-old coach not only left an indelible mark on Boca, but also on several teams throughout the country and the continent.

Thus, through social media, the various teams he touched with his magic and joy bid him farewell with great affection. First, it was the Xeneize who reported the sad news and sent much strength to his family.

The strategist had three spells with the Ribera side, where he won three titles, including the last Copa Libertadores lifted by the Xeneize in 2007.

San Lorenzo, the last team before his return to Boca, used its social media to send a message to the loved ones of the 69-year-old strategist. His time with the Ciclón spanned two periods, in 2008 and in 2025.

Rosario Central also shared its farewell to the legend: “A warrior of life. A warrior of Central.” Miguelo brought joy back to the Canalla with five spells at the Gigante de Arroyito, where, among other things, he returned them to the First Division, saved them from relegation, and was crowned champion of the Professional League.

At Millonarios, Russo went through one of the most difficult periods of his life, but he never gave up. The Argentine coach fell ill and even underwent chemotherapy just hours before the big final against Independiente Santa Fe, yet he never missed the match.

In this way, he brought the club back to the top of Colombian football, and the fans repaid him with unwavering loyalty.
