‘Those who give everything don’t disappoint’: tribute moved Costas | OneFootball

In the last few hours, a group of supporters visited the former coach and gave him a flag bearing the words “He who gives everything does not let you down,” a phrase that became closely associated with his time in charge of the team. The gesture deeply moved the coach, who could not hold back his tears upon receiving the gift.

Costas greeted the fans with a hug and thanked them for the show of affection, while those present sang an emotional chant: “Thank you very much, Gustavo, thank you very much, Gustavo”. The scene reflected the recognition of a significant part of the fan base toward someone considered one of the club’s greatest idols.

The coach’s farewell came after two and a half years in charge of the team, a period in which he won two titles and managed to restore Racing to international prominence. Among the most notable milestones of his tenure were winning the Copa Sudamericana and reaching the Libertadores semifinals.

However, poor results in recent months and elimination in the Sudamericana group stage led the club’s leadership, headed by Diego Milito, to bring his time at the club to an end. The decision was made unilaterally and sparked divided opinions among supporters.

That is why the fans’ spontaneous tribute carried special meaning. Beyond the end of his tenure, the gathering made clear the bond Costas built with a large part of the Racing community, which chose to thank him for his dedication and commitment to the Academia colors.
