Passarella returns to the Monumental after almost 10 years: it will be part of River’s tribute to the world champions

Daniel Walkway accepted the invitation of River and confirmed he will be attending the giveaway preparing for the world champions this Sunday, at the Monumentalin what will be the club’s first home match since Argentina earned their third World Cup star in Qatar.

The appointment will be on Sunday 12 at 19:15 when Martín Demichelis’ team will receive Argentinos Juniors, for the third round of the Professional League.

Passarella confirmed this to the Public Relations area and to his closest entourage, despite the fact that his family had apparently suggested that he not attend the event for fear of a possible rejection by the audience present.

The presence of the former footballer, twice world champion with the national team (the only Argentine with that card) in 1978 and 1986, had been a source of controversy in the previous one. It is that it will be the return of the ex DT to Núñez since December 2013, when he ended the cycle as president of the institution, forever marked by his historic decline in 2011.
