“He doesn’t have WhatsApp”: Vigo’s hilarious tale about Domínguez

Former Colón player, Alex Vigo, currently at Talleres, praised Eduardo Domínguez highly in a conversation with Bolavip, whom he considers the "best" coach today, even above Marcelo Gallardo, whose work he also appreciates, as well as that of Gustavo Costas at Racing and Mauricio Pellegrino at Lanús.

Vigo takes his "hat off" to Domínguez, highlighting his ability to connect with players, his unconditional support when they are not at their best, and his role as a teammate. Although he is a great support, he is also demanding: "he pushes you to the limit and obviously if you're not performing well in the matches, he sidelines you. He is an excellent coach to whom I am very grateful," argued Vigo.

The relationship between the two dates back to their time at Colón, when Domínguez was the coach and promoted Vigo to the First Division. Later on, it was Domínguez himself who requested him as a reinforcement for Independiente.

As an anecdote, Vigo recalled a gesture that illustrates the coach's human quality: "I was at River, he was at Colón. I sent him a message to say hello and he said 'no, better I'll come to your house for dinner.' That surprised me." The player added: "I think very few coaches have gestures like that. He shared time with my family. We all have enormous affection for him."

Finally, the full-back revealed a peculiar detail about the coach: Domínguez does not use WhatsApp. "On top of that, he doesn't have WhatsApp. You have to call him or send him a text message." On one occasion, he tried to correct Vigo on a task: "Imagine that one day he wanted to correct me on a task we had done and he sent me a video via a regular text message. I didn't understand anything."
