Boca sacked Hugo Ibarra: Tata Martino is the great goal to convince

The next step for Boca is to close the incorporation of a coaching staff. And this time Mauricio Serna has been instructed to clarify that Mariano Herrón (TD of the Reserve) will be an interim until the arrival of a coach who will come from outside Boca Predio, far from the cases of Battaglia and Ibarra.

What if a club idol arrives? That’s another story. Because in intimacy they consider that the personality and knowledge of the world of the mouth as a game identity to look for something that at this point begins to be decisive: an idea. It is that if it is by titles, the club has conquered local football in recent years also with questions (it has 6 cups in three years), but with aNo must in the collective operation to make a leap in quality, according to the establishment that was made. A group of players that can (and must) function differently.

Gerardo Martino is the first name that comes from the bowels of Boca Predio. “We have to convince the coach that we want and that we have in our portfolio,” said Serna, giving signs that he already has a first goal.

A trip to Rosario? A chat on the phone? Martino’s history with national football has much more to do with the impulse and seduction of the challenge than with an unfinished business: he managed the national team, was champion with the club of his loves (Newell’s), crossed over to Barcelona, ​​He put together Atlanta United from scratch in the MLS and led teams from Paraguay and Mexico.

The challenge with Boca is the only thing that can anchor him in the country, despite still having pending contractual problems in Mexico. He recovered from the eye operation in his final leg with Mexico. And in Rosario now there are options, despite the fact that His initial idea is to go to Europe and plan from scratch to June. So he too told Independiente when they questioned him a week ago. LBoca’s times are different.

José Pekerman, jobless after Venezuela? Alexander Medina, despite his bad spell at Vélez? On the undercard of the unemployed coaches, everyone will enter the scene according to speculation or operations with a double purpose, while at Boca Predio they seem to have decided things. And what happened yesterday was perhaps just the latest hint.
