During the early hours of this Friday, entry was reserved exclusively for family members and those closest to him, who said their final goodbye to one of the most beloved figures in Argentine soccer in recent years.

According to reports, Russo had requested to be cremated and for his ashes to be scattered at Rosario Central’s Estadio Gigante de Arroyito, the team he managed during the 2014 promotion campaign and with which he made history by winning the 2023 League Cup.
