Arruabarrena starts second spell at Boca: his backroom staff | OneFootball

The start of Rodolfo Arruabarrena's new chapter at Boca is now a reality, marking the return of a club man to take charge of the first team. The brand-new coach led his first training session, accompanied by his usual staff and adding professionals who come from deep within the club.

The Basque stepped onto the Ezeiza training grounds to begin his second spell as Xeneize manager. After his long stint in Asia, the head coach took on the challenge of getting the blue-and-gold institution back on track football-wise. The board backed his sense of belonging and his deep understanding of the usual demands of the "Boca World."

Vasco Arruabarrena began preseason at the helm of Boca.

When putting together his staff, the coach chose to surround himself with names he trusts completely in order to protect the day-to-day work. His main assistant coaches will be Diego Markic and Juan Gobet, who will support him in strategic and tactical planning. The staff also includes Amr Mokhtar, a key right-hand man he developed a strong bond with during his time abroad.

On the fitness side, the man mainly responsible for getting the squad into shape will be Gustavo Roberti, the longtime trainer who has been with the coach since the beginning. His work will be essential for Boca to reach the physical intensity the season demands. The main objective of this staff core is to restore the team’s leading role in every competition.

The final makeup of the staff has one strategic detail compared to the fixed structure maintained by the club from La Ribera. Fitness coach Cristian Aquino and goalkeeping coach Cristian Muñoz will continue carrying out their vital roles with the professional squad. Neither of them arrived in this transfer window with the new head coach, as both are direct employees of the club.

Cristian Muñoz and Cristian Aquino will continue working on the coaching staff.

Both professionals proved their great value by keeping their positions after Claudio Úbeda’s recent departure from the bench. In fact, their quiet and effective work goes back to previous administrations, having most recently been part of Miguel Ángel Russo’s spell and, before that, Fernando Gago’s time in charge.
