Gallardo to leave River after loss to Guillermo's Vélez | OneFootball

The coach and idol of the Millionaire will leave his position after losing to Vélez. 12 defeats in the last 20 matches and the lack of performance marked the end of the Doll's second stage, who will bid farewell in the match against Banfield.

Marcelo Gallardo will no longer be the coach of River. The 0-1 defeat against Vélez this Sunday in the Apertura (12th in the last 20 matches) was the knockout punch for his second stint at the helm of the Millionaire, far from the football level and great results of his first. This Thursday, he will say goodbye at El Monumental facing Banfield, hoping to end with a victory.

After the loss in Liniers, the Doll canceled the press conference and took a few hours to reflect, which led to this decision to end the period that marked his return to the Núñez club since August 2024, replacing his successor, Martín Demichelis.

During that time, River did not win any titles nor came close, except for the International Supercup lost to Talleres last year on penalties, a final 'inherited' from the previous management. In total, there were 85 matches with 35 victories, 32 draws, and 18 defeats.
