Stefano Di Carlo: Gallardo’s River legacy vs Bianchi comparisons | OneFootball

The General Secretary and presidential candidate of the Millonario shared his opinion on the Muñeco and asserted that he is «more» than the Virrey for Boca.

Amid the electoral campaign taking place at River, Stefano Di Carlo, the official candidate, revealed what Marcelo Gallardo's role would be if he assumes the presidency, and placed him above Carlos Bianchi in the ranking of historic coaches in Argentine football.

The current General Secretary of the Millonario explained that football will be a fundamental axis in his administration. «It will be a top priority and I will handle it exclusively», he assured in an interview with Radio La Red. In this context, he surprised by proposing a broader role for the former coach. «He should act, as D’Onofrio said, as CEO and manager of football», he stated, arguing that he has «the credentials, a differential intelligence, and the ability to impose his ideas».

The leader also spoke about the Muñeco's relationship with the club and made it clear that, if he continues as coach, it will be up to him to decide how long to stay. «Marcelo has a relationship with River that surpasses everything. He is a living and active legend. He is not just another coach, he deserves different treatment. He has the authority to make and unmake», he emphasized. Regarding his place in history, Di Carlo did not hesitate to place him at the top of the podium alongside Ángel Labruna and Beto Alonso. «From an objective perspective, the three have been protagonists of the great milestones that explain River's greatness», he highlighted.

Di Carlo compared Gallardo with Bianchi

Stefano Di Carlo spiced up his statements by comparing River's idol, Marcelo Gallardo, with Boca's emblem, Carlos Bianchi. «Gallardo is more for River than Bianchi is for Boca», he declared. And he went further: «In Bianchi's process, he did not directly rival River. In contrast, Gallardo not only brought titles to the club but also took several away from Boca. It's one against five», he continued, concluding.
