River step up chase for Eduardo Coudet after Marcelo Gallardo resigns | OneFootball

Less than a day before Marcelo Gallardo makes his resignation as River’s coach official due to the poor results in recent matches, the Millonario management is already working on bringing in Eduardo Coudet as his replacement, with the intention of speeding up negotiations this weekend so he can take over as soon as possible.

It’s worth noting that although he is currently employed as coach of Alavés in Spain—a team he saved from relegation last season and is now once again fighting to keep in the top division—Chacho was offered by his agent Christian Bragarnik, starting the initial talks.

There is optimism at the Núñez club, and they believe that Coudet will seize the opportunity to coach River, as he has been waiting for this chance for many years. The only issue to resolve is the former Rosario Central manager’s desire not to leave his current team on bad terms, ending his contract early and leaving the club to fend for itself in the battle to stay at the top of Spanish football.

The Argentine’s contract with the Basque side runs until June of this year and does not have a release clause, but far from waiting, River is confident that he could take over after Monday’s match against Independiente Rivadavia in Mendoza, as the aim is for the transition not to be a lengthy one.

While Gallardo will say his goodbyes on Thursday at El Monumental against Banfield, Coudet could do the same at the Ciutat de Valencia Stadium this Friday, when his team visits Levante in a key clash at the bottom of LaLiga.
