Inside Coudet’s coaching staff: who could join him at River | OneFootball

El Chacho is just a few details away from becoming Gallardo’s successor at El Millonario. He would arrive with his usual collaborators, although it is not ruled out that he could add another assistant coach.

Eduardo Germán Coudet has been chosen to succeed Marcelo Gallardo. Chacho still needs to finalize his departure from Alavés, in Spain, in order to cross the ocean and take the helm at El Millonario. He would do so with his usual coaching staff, although he might add an assistant coach with a history at the club. In addition, Marcelo Barovero would remain as the goalkeeping coach.

From Núñez, they are trying to be cautious and have yet to confirm even any contact with the coach. He himself gave a press conference ahead of the match against Levante and swore on his four children that he had not received any calls. However, the information is that the agreement is complete and only a few details remain before he travels to Argentina.

At first glance, the idea is for Chacho to arrive with his current coaching staff. This includes Patricio Graff (a former striker with a past at Rosario Central) as assistant coach, and Octavio Manera and Guido Cretari as fitness coaches. It remains to be seen if Spaniard Carlos Fernández, part of the Alavés coaching staff, will also join. Javier Barbero, also Spanish, is his goalkeeping coach in LaLiga, but he would not be coming to River. In that position, Barovero would remain, having recently joined and being a direct employee of the club.

There is a possibility that, especially if Fernández does not join, Coudet could bring in a second assistant coach. Ideally, this would be someone from within the club, but it is not a strict requirement. Because of this and their shared history, the name of Luis González has been mentioned, with whom he already worked at Inter de Porto Alegre but who is currently performing that role at Porto.
