Boca are looking for DT: ex goalkeeper Pablo Migliore offered for the post and sent a message to Riquelme

Boca is looking for a replacement for Hugo Ibarra in the position of DT and after Tata Martino’s refusal several names are being mentioned to occupy the Xeneize bench. What joins the list is none other than former goalkeeper Pablo Migliore.

Migliore, 41 years old and nicknamed El Loco, came out of the lower ranks of Huracán and went through several Argentine football clubs, including Racing and San Lorenzo, but between 2006 and 2008 he fulfilled his dream of saving for the club which he owned is a fanatic fan. : Boca Juniors.

That “fan” fame made him far more popular than his saves, which is why his history in the Xeneize arc was shorter than expected. It is no coincidence that Migliore is remembered above all for a gross mistake in a match for the semifinals of the Libertadores 2008, which would be crucial for elimination against Fluminense.

Juan Roman Riquelme he did what he could that evening about Migliore’s mistake: he scored both goals in a 2-2 draw and there was much talk of an alleged post-match dressing room brawl between 10 and 1. The rematch was 3-1 for the cariocas and Boca was left without a chance to play the final against Edgardo Bauza’s Liga de Quito, having been champions twice and winning the seventh.

Fifteen years later and with the occasional controversy in between, Migliore seems intent on overturning that old grudge and has dedicated an Instagram post to Boca and Riquelme. The message is clear: he wants to be DT of the Xeneize first team.

“All of us who have qualifying qualifications possess the technical knowledge”, began Migliore, who at the end of last year made his debut as a DT in Fénix, in Primera B, and this year was forced to resign after five defeats in the first five tournament matches.

“We could say this is the theoretical part, the practical part is getting to know the club and its people, not everyone can complete this requirement,” continued El Loco, drawing on his knowledge of the blue and gold dressing room. And he continues: “Very few of us know the intimacy of the club and the fan feelingI have the privilege of being able to enjoy knowing what it is about.”

Although he warned: “After that we have to see if I can keep the harmony of the group, I think I don’t lack the character for this”.

“My only commitment would be to BOCA and to the truth”, also says Migliore, just before winking at his ex-boyfriend riquelme and leave a comment that also appears to be an analysis of the situation the club is going through.

“I I have no problem talking about football with Román, with Chicho, with Ameal, with anyone. Furthermore, it seems logical to me that the DT explains to the club authorities why he makes the decisions. That, yes, the group must know that the decisions are made by the DTs and are part of their convictions “, closes the former goalkeeper.

Right now and after the refusal of Tata Martino, the Uruguayan Alexander Medina and the coach of Tigre, Diego Martínez, seem to lead the list of options that the Football Council manages to be the next DT of Boca. Then there are endless nominations, to which are added Migliore and the illusion of him.
