Through its official channels, Club Atlético Boca Juniors formally announced that Claudio Úbeda will no longer continue in charge of the first football team. El Sifón leaves the position after 34 matches.
The news that had been circulating around the club’s environment was finally confirmed. The Xeneize board decided to bring Úbeda’s spell as head coach to an end, officially communicating the decision through a brief statement.
In the text released, the institution from La Ribera confirmed the separation and bid farewell to the now former coach, dedicating words of thanks for his work leading the professional squad.

"Club Atlético Boca Juniors informs that Claudio Úbeda has ceased to be the coach of the first team. We thank Claudio and his coaching staff for their professionalism and the work carried out during their time at the club, and we wish them the very best of success in their upcoming challenges."
In this way, the board closes another chapter on the bench. With the departure of the coach and his staff now confirmed, Juan Román Riquelme and Marcelo Delgado will have to focus on the search for a new strategist to take the reins of the club and face the upcoming sporting challenges ahead.
During his time on the Xeneize bench, the coach oversaw a total of 34 official matches, leaving behind statistical results that combined stretches of solidity with a certain degree of inconsistency. Over this period, the team celebrated 18 victories, collected 7 draws, and suffered 9 defeats, results that ultimately prompted the board’s decision.
As for performance in both boxes, his spell ends with a positive scoring balance, as Boca managed to score 51 goals and conceded just 24 to its opponents. Despite this good goal difference, the overall campaign was not enough to sustain the project in the long term and keep him in charge of the first team.
