✅ It’s official, Eduardo Coudet is the new River Plate manager | OneFootball

The Club Atlético River Plate begins a new chapter with the official confirmation of Eduardo Coudet as its new head coach.

Chacho, who already knows what it means to defend the red stripe as a player, takes on the challenge of sitting on the Monumental bench to fill the gap left by Marcelo Gallardo. Coudet arrives with the mission of revitalizing a squad that seeks to regain its dominance in South American football.

The coach returns to Argentina after an international journey where he managed Deportivo Alavés in LALIGA EA Sports. During his time in Vitoria, Coudet stood out for giving the team an aggressive and effective identity, achieving a crucial stay in Spanish football. 

Return to Argentine football

Coudet not only brings experience from top-level benches but also returns as a coach to Argentine football. After his stints at Rosario Central and Racing Club, where he already demonstrated his ability to manage high-demand locker rooms, he will now face a new challenge on Avenida de Figueroa Alcorta.

The goals are immediate: stabilize performance in the domestic tournament and, above all, play a role that allows River to regain competitiveness at the international level. 

The official presentation of Coudet will take place in the coming hours at the Monumental Stadium, where he is expected to outline his work plan and the possible needs of the squad to face the second part of the season with guarantees of success.
