Gustavo Benítez is no longer Deportivo Riestra’s head coach, as the club reported on its social media. The team lost 2-0 away to Unión this Friday and, together with Aldosivi, is the only one yet to win so far this season.

In the 12 rounds played so far in the Apertura Tournament, the Pompeya side has recorded seven draws and five losses, leaving it second to last in Zone A and 27th in the overall standings. Fittingly, this Wednesday they will make their Copa Sudamericana debut at home against Palestino.

Since taking over in February 2025 — replacing Cristian Fabbiani — the coach managed 44 matches: 14 wins, 17 draws, and 13 losses (42 goals scored and 40 conceded). Benítez’s replacement will be Guillermo Duró.
