Miguel Ángel Russo is going through a complicated health situation. Besides being unable to coach, the Boca manager is at home with a guarded prognosis. The news shook the entire Argentine football community, which showed solidarity and sent messages of support for the 69-year-old coach.

In addition to the message from Xeneize, which reported on the situation and concluded with "we stand by Miguel and his family at this time", several institutions and sports personalities spoke out about the matter. "From Club Atlético Colón, we wish you much strength, Miguel, the entire Sabalero community is with you", expressed the Santa Fe team where the coach had a brief stint in the 99/00 season, managing a total of 12 matches with 3 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses.

"Stay strong, Miguel. The entire Canalla community is with you, champion," detailed Rosario Central. Their star, Ángel Di María, also expressed himself on his Instagram account.

The president of the AFA, Claudio Chiqui Tapia, joined in supporting the coach: "Much strength in this difficult time, dear Miguel. All of Argentine football is with you."

Estudiantes de La Plata, the club where Russo played his entire career as a player, wished strength to the historic figure, as did its president, Juan Sebastián Verón. Other institutions like Lanús (the team Russo promoted), AFA, and Conmebol, also expressed their support: "South American football is with you, Professor Miguel Russo. Much strength and speedy recovery for an America champion!"

Russo's importance transcends Argentina, as he left his mark as a coach in several foreign entities, which showed their support. Cerro Porteño, Universidad de Chile, and Millonarios expressed their solidarity.

Specifically, the Colombian team, which was crowned twice with Russo at the helm, issued an emotional statement: "From Millonarios FC, professional team, directors, support staff, and administration, we send a message of strength to our dear Miguel Ángel Russo and his entire family."
