As expected: Claudio Úbeda is no longer Boca manager | OneFootball

Claudio Úbeda’s departure was an open secret that has just now been fully confirmed. After the painful elimination from the Copa Libertadores, the Xeneize leadership made the irreversible decision not to renew Sifón’s contract, thus marking the end of his time as head coach of the first team.

The blow on the international stage was too hard, and the club’s authorities felt that a change of direction was essential. Claudio Úbeda’s spell in charge of the blue and gold side leaves behind numbers that, while positive overall, were not enough to keep him in the job in the face of the club’s greatest continental obsession.

As for his record at the club, the Sifón, who took over the team after Miguel Ángel Russo’s departure, managed a total of 34 matches. During that period, he recorded 18 wins, 7 draws, and 9 losses, which represents a win rate of close to 60%.

In terms of scoring ability, the team under his leadership managed to score 51 goals, while its defensive solidity was reflected in the 24 goals conceded. However, as often happens in the club’s demanding environment, the domestic statistics took a back seat after failing to achieve the semester’s main objective.

After Claudio Úbeda

With Claudio Úbeda’s departure now finalized, the professional squad has been given time off. The players will be on break until June 18, when they must report again to the training ground in Ezeiza.

The squad will have 21 days of vacation.

While the players recharge, the club’s leadership faces a race against the clock: the main priority is to find, finalize, and present the new replacement before the formal start of winter preseason training. The list of names is already making the rounds in the halls of La Bombonera, and the coming days will be decisive in determining who will put on the manager’s tracksuit to lead the team in the second half of the year.
