Coudet’s WhatsApp status after River’s Monumental defeat | OneFootball

Coudet’s WhatsApp status featured an image stating that cowards do not make history, posted on Monday only hours after River’s defeat to Rosario Central. According to SuperDepor.com, it was interpreted as a response to the team’s fragile moment and the criticism around it.

The image showed the wording painted on a concrete structure, and the coach offered no explanation.

The timing fed into the mood at the Núñez club, where an early-semester slump has included elimination by Aldosivi in the Copa Argentina and poor results in the Torneo Clausura.

The phrase was first uttered by former Argentina goalkeeper and coach Ángel David Comizzo on 16 August 2014, in a press conference after Monarcas Morelia lost 3-2 to América in Mexico, following a confrontation with a journalist who laughed during his answers.

More than a decade on, Coudet revived the line during his most delicate spell as River coach, after another underwhelming display and a night when players and staff declined to speak publicly. The post was interpreted as a call for courage and character to try to turn the situation around, and it also drew notice for its stark wording.
