River step up chase for Eduardo Coudet after Marcelo Gallardo’s resignation | OneFootball

Less than a day before Marcelo Gallardo officially announces his resignation as River's coach due to the poor results in recent matches, the club's management is already working on bringing Eduardo Coudet as a replacement, with the intention of speeding up negotiations this weekend so he can take over as soon as possible.

It is worth noting that although he is currently employed as a coach at Alavés in Spain, a team he saved from relegation last season and is currently fighting again to stay in the league, Chacho was offered by his agent Christian Bragarnik, starting the inquiries.

In the Nuñez camp, there is optimism and they believe that Coudet will seize the opportunity to be River's coach, as he has been waiting for many years. The only issue to resolve is the former Rosario Central coach's desire not to leave his current team on bad terms, ending his contract early and leaving the club to fend for itself in the battle to remain at the top of Spanish football.

The Argentine's contract with the Basque team extends until June of this year and does not have a release clause, but far from waiting, River is confident that he can take over after the match on Monday against Independiente Rivadavia in Mendoza, as the aim is for the transition not to be lengthy.

While Gallardo will bid farewell on Thursday at El Monumental against Banfield, Coudet could do the same at the Ciutat de Valencia Stadium this Friday, when his team visits Levante in a crucial clash at the bottom of LaLiga.
