There comes a story. Others go. On a busy Monday for Banfield, Javier Sanguinetti took over as coach. And aside from the smiles of the presentation, the Arco took the reins firmly. In one of his first management measures, he decided remove Jesús Dátolo, Enrique Bologna and Nicolás Domínguez from the squad.

With three games at the end of the tournament, plus the definition of the Copa Argentina, the decision is surprising precisely because the Drill is about to end the season. And more, of course, because they are players identified with the club: Bologna and Dátolo emerged from the seedbed and Domingo lived three cycles in the south.

Domingo and Bologna had their respective contracts expired in December. Dátolo, who on Sunday said he did not know why Claudio Vivas had separated, had renewed until 2024.

Sanguinetti, with the confirmation of being the player with the most appearances in the history of Banfield and with the emblem that gave him his first cycle in the club as DT (he was second in the Diego Maradona Cup), has come to take command of a team that will look for the feat in the Argentine Cup but which in turn needs to get up due to uneven results in the Professional League, which lead him to look with concern at next season’s averages table.

Sanguinetti’s phrases

Archu spoke at a press conference after his first training session. “Today I decided with my heart. Banfield has given me a lot, it’s time to give back everything the institution has given me,” he said.

“I could not say no to Banfield. The most important issue was the emotional one and then the professional one,” he added. “In 10 days Banfield plays one of the most important games in its history. The privilege of playing a final is not a trivial matter. We must give it everything “, assured of what is to come.
