Frank Darío Kudelka will have a new stint as coach of Newell's: he will take over on Thursday and will lead none other than the classic against Rosario Central.

Immersed in a difficult sporting moment that could not be reversed even with the appointment of the new management led by Ignacio Boero nor with the coaching duo Orsi-Gómez, who were dismissed after six rounds of the tournament, Newell's this Tuesday presented Lucas Benardi as interim coach.

The historic former Leproso player, who had been working with the youth divisions, will lead the match against Estudiantes this Wednesday. Although he expressed his willingness to be in charge of the team for the classic against Newell's next Sunday, the management has already secured the new coach.

That coach is Frank Darío Kudelka, who was unemployed after his experience at Huracán, which ended with that embarrassing match against Barracas Central, where El Globo failed to qualify for the round of 16 of the Torneo Clausura.

Kudelka will begin his second stint at La Lepra: in the first, during 2019/2020, he managed 41 matches. He won 16, drew 10, and lost 15. His return debut will be, none other than, against Rosario Central.
