Marcelo Delgado, the only member of the Football Council, spoke about the continuity of Claudio Úbeda as Boca's head coach. Chelo assured that it is still not decided if Sifón will continue leading the team.
In radio statements, the link between the management and the professional football team was asked about a central issue: the continuity or not of the technical staff currently led by Claudio Úbeda. The focus was particularly on Boca's elimination from the Torneo Clausura against Racing and the change of Changuito Zeballos, which was decisive.

The continuity of Claudio Úbeda is a central issue at Boca.
Regarding the first mentioned, Chelo commented: “We are analyzing that, we are in permanent meetings with the president and evaluating everything. Beyond Claudio's continuity, organizing the preseason, the issue of reinforcements, some kids who might leave, more than 20 players are returning from loans, and we are working on a lot of things.”
About Zeballos' change, he said: “One can analyze things completely differently with hindsight, draw many conclusions. Obviously, the team itself was in a tight, difficult match, but well, the coach makes decisions, maybe after the match he told me that Chango was tired. But well, those are decisions, maybe he made a mistake considering how the match turned out, but things have already happened.”
He also stated that “we have to balance the positive things, what was done well, what was done poorly, and recover,” to close the dialogue with La Red he expressed: “And start organizing everything for next year.”
According to what emerged from the last training session before the team was given leave, the team supported the continuity of the technical staff. Even in the practice that served as a farewell before starting the holidays, the captain spoke and apologized.

The team wants the technical staff to continue.
According to reports from inside the club, Leandro Paredes asked for a minute to apologize to the technical staff for the gestures he made during the match when Exequiel Zeballos was substituted for Alan Velasco. The world champion was seen upset by Changuito's exit and therefore raised his voice to retract his reaction.
