What is the trailer for “Coppola, the representative”, the new series about Maradona’s coach

The first preview of Coppola, the representativethe new Star+ series starring Juan Minujin. It’s a biopic which follows the life of Guillermo Coppola, former manager of Diego Armando Maradona.

The series he will present six chapters of 45 minutes each, does not yet have a confirmed release date. We only know that the launch will take place this year. The vast cast is made up of many figures. Between them, Mónica Antonópulos, Joaquín Ferreira, María del Cerro, Roxana Randón and Teté Coustarot.

This production stands out not only for its actors. The comedy-drama has big names behind the camera. The direction is by Ariel Winograd and the screenplay of the series was written by Mariano Cohn, Gastón Duprat and Emanuel Diez.

“In a humorous way, the fictional series revolves around Guillermo Coppola, the coach of one of the most famous footballers in the world, who tries to balance his hectic private life with a full-time job that leads him to deal with the unusual consequences of actions of his client, whose sporting peak is quickly followed by a period of sharp decline,” explains the official synopsis of the series.

Last October the start of filming was announced, which will take place in Naples, Italy and Argentina. The series will portray all the faces of Coppola in the 90s, when he was one of the most important characters in football and entertainment.

As seen in the preview, the coach, who has coached more than 200 players, did not escape the cameras. In his golden age he met celebrities and even ventured into some media.

What you see in the preview

In this first trailer, which lasts only 30 seconds, we see Juan Minujín completely transformed and unrecognizable. Initially, they highlight how extravagant the former “Diego” manager’s life was in the 1990s. We see parties, cameras and countless luxuries around them.

Soon after they start showing the other side of the story. “Mr. Coppola is accused,” we suddenly hear as archive footage appears of his arrest in a drug case.

This is just a preview of how the controversies in which this media figure has been involved will be addressed.

The story is expected to adhere to reality as much as possible, since Guillermo Coppola himself approved this production and even visited the set during the first days of filming.

Until now, what remains a mystery is whether Maradona will appear in front of the camera, like another character in the series. And, if so, who will be the actor in charge of taking on the role of the “Ten”.

In any case, everything indicates that it will not be a central part of this story. At no point, neither in the official synopsis nor in the trailer, is Diego Armando Maradona mentioned with your first and last name. In the preview Minujín repeatedly refers to the emblematic player of the Argentine national team, but in all of them he does so simply as “Dieguito”.
