📊The Riquelme era: 300 matches at Boca, but questions remain | OneFootball

Juan Román Riquelme reached 300 matches as an executive of Boca Juniors. During this period, the club achieved 140 victories, 91 draws, 61 defeats, and won six titles. He assumed the role of Vice President in 2019 and President in 2023, after winning the elections with 52% and 65.3% of the votes, respectively.

The Harvest of Local Titles

From the football department, his first cycle was successful at the local level. Under the technical direction of Miguel Ángel Russo, the team snatched the Superliga 20 from River and won the Maradona Cup. Sebastián Battaglia added the Copa Argentina 2020/21 and the Copa de la Liga 2022. Finally, Hugo Ibarra led the team to win the Liga Profesional 2022. The last cup was the Supercopa Argentina 2022 in March 2023.

Debts on the International Front and Current Situation

Despite national successes, the management was frustrated on the international stage, with four eliminations against Brazilian teams, including the loss in the 2023 Copa Libertadores final against Fluminense.

The present is turbulent: after the departure of Jorge Almirón and the brief tenures of Diego Martínez and Fernando Gago, the tragic death of Miguel Russo left Claudio Úbeda in charge. Currently, Boca is going through a negative streak, with only 4 wins in the last 20 matches.
