River has a new head coach, and it is Eduardo Coudet, chosen by the management led by Stefano Di Carlo to replace Marcelo Gallardo. In his second stint with the Millonarios, Gallardo was unable to achieve good results and began to face strong criticism. Therefore, Núñez is extremely stirred up.
This Tuesday, after River's draw as a visitor against Independiente Rivadavia de Mendoza, with Marcelo Escudero sitting on the bench, the top leader of the Millonarios gave statements on the ESPN program 'F90'. There, he explained the reasons for Gallardo's departure.
"It's somewhat known and seen. It's a process that was attempted and persisted in its direction. We reviewed the decisions made during this stage. We made corrections according to what we thought needed to be done," Di Carlo began to express regarding the details of the coach's departure.
"In one of the last talks with Marcelo, we discussed what we could have done differently, and we couldn't find a solution. These are things that happen in football. In the transfer market, we brought in the positions Marcelo requested to have that extra edge and leap," the top authority of River elaborated, confessing that all efforts were made to provide the necessary tools.
"We did everything we needed to face this year, but things didn't work out. This doesn't diminish Marcelo's importance to River; he is the most significant figure in the club's history, and we are convinced we supported the process," added Di Carlo, showing his sadness over the results of this process.
"It was his decision; he couldn't find a way around the situation and took this stance, where he called me and said he wouldn't continue," he concluded. In this way, the president of River made it clear that the decision of this outcome was purely and exclusively due to the stance of the now former River coach.
