The 3 managers Milito is weighing up to replace Costas at Racing | OneFootball

Following the coach’s departure by Milito’s decision, Nico Diez and Guillermo Barros Schelotto are also on the Academy board’s shortlist.

Gustavo Costas’s departure from Racing quickly opened the race for his successor, and several names are already on the table. The main target for the club’s board is Hernán Crespo, who has broad support within the club and is currently without a job. The financial aspect appears to be the main issue to resolve if they formally move forward.

The former São Paulo and Al-Duhail coach gained momentum in a week in which he publicly acknowledged that he would like to manage a big club, a situation that further fuels excitement about his possible arrival in Avellaneda.

Behind Crespo, other candidates have also emerged. One of them is Nicolás Diez, Argentinos Juniors’ coach and a name that is well liked within the club.His release clause would be affordable, making him a viable alternative if negotiations with the top candidate do not succeed.

The situation seems more complicated with Guillermo Barros Schelotto, currently at Vélez. El Mellizo is also favored by part of the board. At the same time, Racing are not ruling out evaluating the situation of Luis Zubeldía — Fluminense’s head coach —, another name that always generates interest in the local market.

Costas’s departure came as a surprise even within the club. Beyond the strain caused by poor results in recent months, the coach led Saturday’s training session with no signs that his spell was coming to an end.
