Julio Vaccari is the new manager of Defensa y Justicia | OneFootball

El Halcón began to shape what the squad for the second half of 2026 will look like. After the end of Mariano Soso’s tenure, the club’s leadership went in search of a familiar face. This Sunday, it was confirmed that Julio Vaccari is the new head coach of Defensa y Justicia.

The man who served as Gabriel Heinze’s assistant coach will remain tied to the top level of Argentine football. His experience alongside Marcelo Bielsa helped shape him as a coach. And his best version, precisely, was seen in Florencio Varela.

After his spell at Independiente, Julio Vaccari is the new head coach of Defensa y Justicia

The club from the southern part of Greater Buenos Aires did not have a good Apertura. Far from its best form, El Halcón will try to change its image, and that is why they opted for someone who did well during his last spell at the club.

Vaccari had already managed Defensa y Justicia between 2022 and 2024. In total, there were 88 matches with 38 wins, 28 draws, and 22 losses. The affection was such that the man from Santa Fe managed to replace Sebastián Beccacece, who had set the bar very high. And now it will be time for his second spell at the club.
