Rodolfo Arruabarrena arrives to sign for Boca, explains his return | OneFootball

Rodolfo Arruabarrena arrived in the country to sign his new contract with Boca and explained how his return to the club came about, detailing his conversations with Juan Román Riquelme. He also analyzed the squad at his disposal and looked ahead to the upcoming transfer window.

From the airport, El Vasco did not hide his excitement about taking on this major challenge. "Obviously this is my second spell and I hope to live up to it, to repay the people who have trusted me," the newly appointed coach acknowledged to the media present at the scene.

Along those same lines, he made clear the identity he will try to build on the pitch. Vasco Arruabarrena stressed that the main goal is "to try to put together a competitive team that can show something and be identified with the fans" in every match it plays during the season.

Regarding how his return came together, he explained that the dialogue with the president was straightforward. "They know everything Boca means to me. There were two or three talks with Román clearing up a few issues, and honestly it wasn’t much more than that," the coach said about how quickly it was resolved.

Rodolfo Arruabarrena and his analysis of the squad

The focus of those meetings was on evaluating the club’s resources. He said they prioritized "analyzing the team, the reserve squad, and now trying to sign and have a face-to-face meeting with Román to speak a little more clearly."

The coach showed total confidence in the tools he will have for the competitions ahead. "If I accepted, it’s because I’m convinced there is a good squad. There will be some departures and arrivals, but I trust the players who are here. Otherwise, I would have stayed at home with my family," he said.

El Vasco will have his first training session on the 18th.

Asked about the non-negotiable attributes for playing at the club, the coach pointed directly to mentality. "Personality. He doesn’t have to be too old or too young, or technical or not. He has to have personality, and I believe there are players with personality," he stressed bluntly.

Finally, he laid out his plan to get the group back to its best level. "There will be some who haven’t had a good semester, and we hope to help them improve, along with the arrival of some players who will give us a step up in quality," he concluded, leaving expectations high for this new cycle.
