River Plate announce Eduardo Coudet as new manager | OneFootball

River Plate already has a replacement for Marcelo Gallardo: Eduardo “Chacho” Coudet was announced this Tuesday (3) as the new coach of the club.

Coudet’s hiring was highly anticipated after the coach’s own representative admitted last Friday that negotiations had begun.

“It’s confirmed and tomorrow [Wednesday] we will make the official announcement,” said Stefano Di Carlo, president of River Plate, in an interview with ESPN.

The coach, who in Brazil had stints with Internacional and Atlético-MG, had been in charge of Alavés in Spain since December 2024. He said goodbye to his now former players on Monday, according to the press.

Coudet will take over the position left last Thursday by Gallardo, the most successful coach in River Plate’s history, with 14 titles, but without any trophies in his disappointing second spell at the club.

His debut will be on March 12, when River visits Huracán for the 10th round of the Argentine Championship.
