No Russo: Claudio Úbeda to lead Boca against Defensa y Justicia | OneFootball

Claudio Úbeda will be Boca's head coach this afternoon against Defensa y Justicia. This is due to the absence of Miguel Ángel Russo, who is currently resting and, on his doctors' recommendation, will not be in Florencio Varela with the Xeneize team.

Boca will play this afternoon at 7:00 PM at the Norberto Tomaghello stadium for the tenth round of the 2025 Clausura Tournament, and will do so without their coach due to health reasons. Although Miguelo was discharged yesterday, he will remain at home resting.

Russo will not coach the team in Varela.

In light of this, Claudio Úbeda, who is Miguelo's main assistant coach, will take charge of the team and will be accompanied by Juvenal Rodríguez. The coaching staff will be completed by fitness coach Adrián Gerónimo and Cristian Aquino, with Cristian Muñoz as the goalkeeping coach.
