Ramón Díaz backs Coudet at River, wishes him all the best | OneFootball

El Pelado, who was not considered by the management to replace Gallardo despite the request of some fans, spoke for the first time about Chacho's appointment in Núñez and had no doubt that he has the necessary skills to steer the ship.

As River embarks on a new era with Eduardo Coudet at the helm, an authoritative voice from the millonario world commented on the change of direction: Ramón Díaz broke his silence and offered positive words to the brand-new coach. According to El Pelado, with his experience at the club, which he has managed three times and knows like the back of his hand, Chacho has the tools and personality needed to steer the ship.

The historic coach, who was not considered among the candidates despite the request from a section of the fans and being without a club after leaving Internacional, opted for a message of support towards the new team leader. “Chacho is a friend, he will surely provide the club with a very important functioning and results, I wish him the best”, he expressed in a conversation with Radio Guemes.

Away from any controversy for not being considered in this selection process, Ramón made it clear that he maintains a close relationship with Coudet, whom he even coached in 1999.

In fact, he revealed that the relationship is not recent and that there is frequent contact between them: “I always talk to him, Emiliano too. We are in contact. Also, when we were at Internacional, he helped us a lot to get to know the club and the environment. I thank him and send him a big hug.”

The statements from the Riojan come in a particular context. Although his name was not considered by the management, it had resurfaced on its own merit and expressly at the request of some fans amid Marcelo Gallardo's departure, with banners around the stadium. However, Stefano Di Carlo and Enzo Francescoli chose another path and moved forward with Coudet to lead this new stage.

Thus, while River seeks to rebuild itself football-wise under new leadership, Ramón maintained the low profile he opted for in recent months and decided to step back from the spotlight to send a gesture of support to the one who now occupies the bench.
