Riquelme makes a call on Miguel Ángel Russo’s future at Boca | OneFootball

The president of Boca Juniors, Juan Román Riquelme, made a decisive decision regarding the future of coach Miguel Ángel Russo, who is affected daily by his health problems and this causes him difficulties in performing his duties normally.

The top leader of the La Ribera entity determined that he will support the head coach and his team. This regardless of the results and whether Russo can be present at training or matches, according to what Doble Amarilla was able to find out.

The Board of Directors will not intrude on him or his family. Furthermore, they will have full freedom to manage his presence day by day, week by week given his delicate health condition, which has been affecting him more significantly and does not allow him to perform as usual.

In the past week, Russo was absent from training and was also not present in the defeat against Defensa y Justicia in Florencio Varela by 2-1. Thus, if the coach is not in a condition to reappear against Newell's at La Bombonera, it will be Claudio Úbeda who will lead the team again.

Miguel Ángel Russo was discharged from the hospital

After being absent for several consecutive days, Miguel Ángel Russo was discharged from the hospital last Friday.

The medical team at the Fleni Institute had reportedly recommended to Russo not to coach against Defensa y Justicia and to stay at home resting. Due to his hospitalization, Russo was absent from the week's training and it was Úbeda himself along with Juvenal Rodríguez who led the team.
