Coudet joins River post-Gallardo with Musto and trusted staff | OneFootball

With Marcelo Gallardo's departure confirmed, River Plate is speeding up the process for Eduardo Coudet's arrival. While the final details of his departure from Deportivo Alavés are being finalized, "Chacho" has already defined a renewed structure for his coaching staff in Núñez, with prominent names and familiar faces.

Coaching staff with "Millionaire" DNA

The big surprise is the addition of Damián Musto as an assistant coach, taking the place of Patricio Graff. The former midfielder, who has a close relationship with Coudet after being coached by him at Rosario Central, Tijuana, and Inter, recently retired and will bring his direct knowledge of the coach's working method.

Additionally, there is strong speculation that Luis "Lucho" González might join as a second assistant. If this happens, Coudet and "Lucho" would reunite at the club where they were champions of the 2003 and 2004 Clausura tournaments. The staff will be completed with:

Contract and debut

Coudet will sign a contract that ties him to River until December 2027, with an option for a one-year extension. After bidding farewell to the Spanish team, the coach is expected to arrive in Buenos Aires between Wednesday and Thursday to formally assume his duties.

The official debut of "Chacho" will depend on the scheduling of the Apertura Tournament. While Marcelo Escudero takes charge of the team on an interim basis for the match against Independiente Rivadavia, Coudet could make his official debut immediately after that commitment.
