Gallardo clears out River, Colidio only survivor from Demichelis era

Since his return to River, Marcelo Gallardo has almost completely reshaped the squad and minimized the legacy of the previous era. Of the 17 signings that arrived under Martín Demichelis, only Facundo Colidio remains in Núñez. The forward managed to hold his place under both coaches and is now the only reinforcement from that period still on the professional squad. The imminent departure of Sebastián Boselli, set to join Getafe, has finalized the overhaul.

With the Muñeco in charge, River sped up the cleanup: several names were no longer considered and left in stages, some even just a few months after arriving. Gallardo adjusted, trimmed, and rebuilt, with clear demands and no sentimentality.

The result: a new squad, a closed chapter, and a single exception. Colidio remains. The rest is history.
