The official party’s presidential candidate spoke about the current state of the “Millonario” and assured that, if he wins, he is counting on the coach for his football project.

Marcelo’s main distinguishing feature is his intelligence. His history at River as a player was extraordinary, and he managed to surpass it as a coach. The titles he won are unforgettable, both for their number and the way he achieved them, always in line with River’s philosophy. Marcelo always generates high expectations, and it’s only logical: he himself has raised the bar,” Di Carlo said in an interview with Clarín.

He added: “Getting back to sporting success is our absolute priority. We are going through a tough time that we don’t like and are not used to. We know it’s not what the fans want. We are going to work on that and make our evaluations at the end of the competition.”

We support Marcelo with conviction, not only because of his history and what he represents for River, but also because of the quality professional he is. Maintaining a project in victory is very easy. The real challenge is to do so when things aren’t going as well as expected,” he concluded.
