Officially, Eduardo Coudet has parted ways with Deportivo Alavés to replace Marcelo Gallardo as the head coach of River Plate. Last Friday, Chacho managed his last match with the Spanish team, speeding up his move to Argentina. In fact, this Tuesday he began his journey to settle in Buenos Aires.
In the midst of this scenario, BOLAVIP was present at the Madrid airport, being the only media outlet to access the preparations for Coudet's flight to Argentina to take on the role of River's coach. There, they were able to capture the first photo of the strategist after the confirmation by Stefano Di Carlo, president of the Núñez club.
Simultaneously, precise details were revealed regarding Chacho's upcoming hours before and during his assumption, as well as the objectives surrounding the formation of his coaching staff, following the official announcement that Damián Musto will take Patricio Graff's place as assistant coach.
In this context, it was learned that, mid-year, Lucho González will join his coaching staff. He will not do so now due to the former River midfielder's commitments with Porto in Portuguese football, but he has verbally agreed to return to the club where he was a Copa Libertadores champion in 2015.
Thus, we will have to wait until June to confirm whether Lucho González becomes Coudet's third assistant coach simultaneously, or if a decision is made for Carlos Miguel Fernández to step aside. For now, the plan is for him to remain linked to the Portuguese institution until the end of the season.
