Marcelo Delgado tells Claudio Úbeda he is no longer Boca boss | OneFootball

In a meeting, Marcelo Delgado informed Claudio Úbeda that he will no longer be Boca's head coach. The Sporting Director officially told him that the contract linking him to Xeneize until June 30 will not be renewed.

This Monday morning, the meeting took place that el Sifón had said would happen after the team’s tough elimination at La Bombonera. The team’s early exit from the Copa Libertadores led to the decision that had seemed like an inevitable ending.

The club’s Sporting Director was in charge of sitting down to talk with Sifón, who already knew he would not continue. In fact, the news was already circulating in the media the day after the loss to Universidad Católica, which sealed Boca’s place in the Copa Sudamericana for the second half of the year.

Úbeda is no longer Boca’s head coach.

The 56-year-old from Rosario will leave Xeneize because the club will not renew the contract that expires on June 30. There was neither a dismissal nor a resignation for Miguel Ángel Russo’s assistant coach, whom he succeeded as head coach after his passing.

Boca look for a head coach after Claudio Úbeda’s departure

Now, the club’s leadership is focused on finalizing the hiring of a head coach for the second half of the year, when the team will compete in the Copa Sudamericana, the Torneo Clausura, and the Copa Argentina.

Juan Román Riquelme’s idea is to offer the job to an experienced coach, with a contract running until the end of his presidential term, that is, until the end of 2027. In addition, the requirement is that he put on the training gear and start work before the squad begins winter preseason, which is scheduled for June 18 at the Ezeiza training ground.
