Staying at Boca? Delgado reveals Zeballos contract extension details | OneFootball

Boca Sporting Director Marcelo Delgado gave an interview in which he spoke about how talks are progressing over the contract renewal of Changuito Zeballos, whose deal expires at the end of the year, and there is still no agreement for the signing of an extension.

Chelo spoke about several topics in an interview he gave this Wednesday to TyC Sports from the Ezeiza training ground, where he is waiting for the reserve team’s match. Among the issues he addressed, he referred to Exequiel Zeballos’ renewal with Boca. 

“There are talks with his agent; we have to stay calm. Exequiel has a huge future and a lot of qualities. We’re talking with his agent and hope to resolve the whole matter soon,” Delgado said.

In addition, the Sporting Director of the La Ribera club said: “The main thing for us is Exequiel’s renewal. Then we’ll see if any possibility comes up; obviously, we’ll analyze it, whether in June or December. What matters now is reaching an agreement and renewing the contract.” 

Continuing on the possibility involving Changuito Zeballos, Chelo was emphatic: “Once he signs the renewal, we’ll see if an opportunity comes along that is interesting for the club and important for the player; we’ll analyze it and, if the chance arises, it will happen. But for now, we’re focused on the renewal and hope it gets resolved soon.”

Delgado and Úbeda’s future at Boca

In the same interview, Chelo Delgado referred to the present and future of the head coach, although he avoided giving details on whether he will stay after June: “We always stayed calm. Today, from the position I’m in, talks with the president are fluid. Obviously, you, your colleagues, and the fans were asking for a change, but we kept backing Claudio, and now the results are showing. We always stayed calm, and that’s the key thing.”

Delgado and Riquelme will make the decision on Úbeda.

He also stated: “It was all strange, because he was Miguel’s assistant coach. What happened happened; unfortunately, Miguel left us, and the president’s final decision was to continue with Claudio. The truth is, he stands out for his work, the composure and calm he has in carrying out training sessions every day. He has earned the affection of the players, commands respect, and is achieving what he wants on the field with the boys.”
