“I take a step to the side,” said Carlitos Tevez at the end of the local tournament and greeted Rosario Central. After directing 23 matches (22 in the local tournament and one in the Argentine Cup), he decided to leave the institution that held the elections and proclaimed Gonzalo Belloso as the new president -Tevez had arrived at the hands of Ricardo Carloni and the Outgoing Board Directors- and now, away from the fields, He confessed that football exhausted him.
He formalized his retirement from football last year, shortly after taking over as manager of Canalla where he was in charge of the team until the end of the season. In reviewing what he’s been through over the past few months, he emphatically responds: “I don’t miss the world of Boca, nor football because it exhausted me.”
Although he currently has no signed deal for 2023, a few days after ending his relationship with Central, his name has begun to gain traction to run Independiente. “As soon as I left Rosario Central, they called me from Independiente”, he told in an interview with Radio Miter and assured that he has not “the need to go out and direct anything”.
His departure from Central caused a sensation and the former Boca Juniors confirmed: “I had the opportunity to stay at Central, but I didn’t stay because of a political issue”. At the time he had specified that he would leave the club because the change of date of the elections and the politicization of the institution had been the main reasons that had convinced him to step aside.
Even so, analyzing his first phase as a coach in which he achieved six wins, 10 draws and seven defeats, he said: “Being a coach was a good experience, I like it. The strategic part was what I liked about more. I liked it.” And he added: “I’m enjoying the moments. I’m with the family on the ranch I have. I like to enjoy the affection of the people”.
The World Cup and Messi
Carlitos also recounted how he experienced Argentina’s conquest at the World Cup in Qatar and confessed: “I followed the World Cup a bit. I followed France a lot because it was a team I liked.”
Is closed: “I didn’t write to Messi because he must have used the telephone. It gives me great joy that my children shout his goals.”
