Stéfano Di Carlo: We back Marcelo fully, not just for his legacy | OneFootball

The presidential candidate from the ruling party spoke about the current state of the "Millonario" and assured that, if he wins, he has the coach in mind for his football project.

Before the elections at River, the ruling party candidate Stéfano Di Carlo spoke about the current state of the team and expressed his support for Marcelo Gallardo.

“The main difference with Marcelo is his intelligence. His history at River as a player was extraordinary, and he managed to surpass it as a coach. The titles he won are unforgettable, both for their number and the way he achieved them, always in line with River's philosophy. Marcelo always generates high expectations, and it’s logical that he does: he himself raised the bar,” Di Carlo stated in an interview with Clarín.

He added: “Achieving sports results again is our absolute priority. We are going through a bad moment that we don’t like and are not used to. We know it’s not what the fans want. We will work on that and make evaluations at the end of the competition.”

“We support Marcelo with conviction, not only because of his history and what he represents for River but because of the quality professional he is. Sustaining a project in victory is very easy. The real challenge is doing so when things don’t go as well as expected,” he concluded.
