Riquelme makes a call on Miguel Ángel Russo’s future at Boca | OneFootball

The president of Boca Juniors, Juan Román Riquelme, has made a firm decision regarding the future of coach Miguel Ángel Russo, who is affected day by day by his health problems and this causes him difficulties in performing his duties normally.

The top executive of the La Ribera club has decided that he will support the head coach and his staff. This regardless of the results and whether Russo is able to be present at training sessions or matches or not, according to information obtained by Doble Amarilla.

The Board of Directors will not intrude on him or his family. In addition, they will have complete freedom to manage his attendance day by day, week by week given his delicate state of health, something that has been affecting him more and more and does not allow him to perform as usual.

In the last week, Russo was absent from training sessions and was also not present at the defeat against Defensa y Justicia in Florencio Varela, which ended 2-1. In this way, if the coach is not able to return for the match against Newell's at La Bombonera, Claudio Úbeda will once again take charge of the team.

Miguel Ángel Russo has been discharged from the hospital

After being absent for several consecutive days, Miguel Ángel Russo was discharged from the hospital last Friday.

The medical team at the Fleni Institute reportedly recommended that Russo not coach against Defensa y Justicia and that he remain at home to rest. Due to his hospitalization, Russo was absent from training sessions during the week and it was Úbeda himself, along with Juvenal Rodríguez, who led the squad.
