Atlético Tucumán host Aldosivi as Julio Falcioni makes his dugout debut | OneFootball

Atlético Tucumán will host Aldosivi this Wednesday from 22:00 at the Estadio Monumental José Fierro, in a match corresponding to matchday 10 of the 2026 Apertura Tournament. The game will mark the debut of Julio César Falcioni as coach of the Dean, who returns to management after more than a year and a half away from the activity.

The historic coach, known for his style of organized and pragmatic teams, arrives with the mission to reorganize a battered Atlético Tucumán after the tough 3-0 defeat to Racing at home in the previous round. That match exposed defensive problems and a lack of connection between the lines, aspects that the new coaching staff will seek to correct quickly in order to start picking up points.

In this context, Falcioni himself, at 69 years old, anticipated the challenge with a phrase that reflects the team's current situation: "Let's hope we can park two buses: one in front of the other and start picking up points". The Emperor, who has managed clubs such as Banfield, Boca, and Independiente, thus takes on another urgent challenge in Argentine football.

On the other side will be an Aldosivi that is also going through a difficult period. The team led by Guillermo Farré comes from a 2-0 loss to Banfield and has accumulated four defeats in eight matches, which has left them at the bottom of their group and also in the annual standings.

Another worrying fact for the Mar del Plata side is their low offensive output, as they have scored only two goals in eight matches, a statistic that reflects their struggles to maintain territorial dominance and turn it into clear scoring chances.

Probable lineup for Atlético Tucumán: Tomás Durso; Leonel Di Plácido, Gianluca Ferrari or Clever Ferreira, Gastón Suso, Ignacio Galván; Renzo Tesuri, Kevin Ortiz, Javier Domínguez, Nicolás Laméndola; Martín Benítez and Carlos Abeldaño. Coach: Julio César Falcioni.
