Cristian Fabbiani is no longer Newell’s head coach. Despite confirming in a press conference that he would remain in his position until Newell’s participation in the League Cup ended, president Ignacio Astore decided to fire him after the defeat to Argentinos Juniors in La Paternal.
The news became known on Saturday morning, hours after the rojinegro side fell 3–1 to Argentinos Juniors in La Paternal, once again leaving a deplorable image on the pitch.
In the post-match press conference, Fabbiani had stated his intention to stay “until the end” because there were decisive matches ahead, but the club’s leadership felt his credit had run out.
The fact is that this brings the Ogre’s cycle at the helm of La Lepra to an end, and we will have to see in the coming days who takes charge of the first team to face Unión in the next round.
In any case, Newell’s will now have a bit more time, as there will be no fixtures next weekend due to the national elections to be held on October 26.
