Leandro Paredes, one of the key figures in the Boca squad, expressed the players’ strong support for the continuity of Claudio Úbeda as head coach. In a context of decisions about the team’s future, the midfielder was clear in stating that the group wanted to maintain the work structure that had solidified in the final stretch of the championship.

The world champion clarified that there were no formal meetings with the management to influence the decision, but rather it was a genuine feeling based on the team’s footballing progress. According to Paredes, the hope that Úbeda would stay in charge was born from the remarkable improvement the team showed under his leadership, finishing the tournament with a performance far superior to how they had started the season, despite being eliminated by Racing in the semifinals.
