Casalánguida stays: Boca announce head coach's new deal | OneFootball

Boca’s leadership made a key decision for the club’s future. In the midst of intense planning for the upcoming challenges and with the need to secure the team’s foundations, the signing and contract extension of head coach Nicolás Casalánguida was made official for one more season in charge of the basketball team.

This is crucial news that guarantees the continuity of a work project which, through effort and good play, already gave the institution enormous joy at the continental level less than a month ago and is now aiming for another title.

The head coach of the basketball team put pen to paper and will remain in charge of the Xeneize after the historic Basketball Champions League Americas 2025/2026 title and qualification for the Liga Nacional quarterfinals.

Under Casalánguida’s leadership, Boca reached the pinnacle and were crowned undisputed champions of the tournament organized by FIBA Americas. The team claimed international glory after defeating Sesi Franca Basquet in an unforgettable final, marking a before and after in the institution’s sporting history.

The coach had taken over a squad that was already a clear contender but had its ups and downs. Far from settling, Casalánguida managed to maintain that very high competitive level domestically and, most importantly, gave the team the long-awaited leap in quality on the international stage. The club’s leadership highly valued the work done during the season and did not hesitate to back the project.

With the renewal now finalized and the peace of mind of having the coaching staff’s leader secured, Boca will focus on the quarterfinal series against Oberá, which promises to be thrilling and will begin shortly with Game 1 scheduled for Saturday the 9th in Misiones.
