Stefano Di Carlo lifts the lid on why Marcelo Gallardo left River | OneFootball

River has a new head coach and it is Eduardo Coudet, chosen by the management led by Stefano Di Carlo to replace Marcelo Gallardo, who, in his second stint with the Millonario team, was unable to achieve good results and began to face strong criticism. As a result, Núñez is in complete turmoil.

With that being said, this Tuesday, after River’s draw as visitors against Independiente Rivadavia de Mendoza, during which Marcelo Escudero was sitting on the substitutes’ bench, the very president of the Millonario gave statements on ESPN’s ‘F90’ program. There, he explained the reasons behind Muñeco’s departure.

“It’s a bit of what is already known and seen. It’s a process that was attempted and we persisted on that path. We kept reviewing the decisions made during this stage. We made corrections according to what we had set out to do,” Di Carlo began, referring to the details of the coach’s departure.

“In one of the last conversations with Marcelo, we talked about what we could have done differently and we couldn’t find a solution. These are things that happen in football. During the transfer window, we brought in the players Marcelo requested to give us that extra edge and make that leap,” the River president elaborated, confessing that every effort was made to provide the necessary tools.

“We did everything we needed to do to face this year, but things didn’t work out. This doesn’t diminish Marcelo’s importance to River, as he is the most significant figure in the club’s history, and we are convinced that we supported the process,” Di Carlo added, showing his sadness over the results of that process.

“It was his decision; he couldn’t find a way out of the situation and took this stance, calling me to say he would not continue,” he concluded. In this way, the River president made it clear that the decision for this outcome was, purely and exclusively, due to the stance of River’s now former coach.
