Nights with Bersuit, football everywhere and madness for Benjamín: how Marcelo Gallardo’s life goes on, while he played at Chelsea

Marcellus Gallardo it was news again. Her name is back in fashion on social media and her image has appeared on portals and television channels. Chelsea have him among the candidates to lead the London club from the middle of the year Meanwhile, the doll spends her days calmly and takes the opportunity to do all kinds of activities.

Almost five months (and six since the press conference where he made the announcement) after his departure from River, Doll does not despair of returning. She will analyze in detail each offer you have. Indeed the He told his coaching staff that he would not sign any teams until June. He wanted to rest and recharge his batteries, after his successful and intense cycle of eight and a half years at the Núñez institute, with which he won 14 titles (7 national and 7 international), including two Copa Libertadores, to become the most winner of the “Millionaire” story and become a statue and a legend.

That tour, in addition to the great joys, also generated a logical weariness. Here because, the doll needed to take a break, to enjoy day to day things and look at your future with another perspective. Thus, in his days of relaxation and tranquility, there is no shortage of barbecues with family and friends, music and paddle. But there have also been trips to Europe to watch football matches, visits to the Monumental to see the national team, to RiverCamp to follow the children and even participate in a gastronomic talk.

One of Gallardo’s first public appearances after leaving River’s technical direction was in Colombia, in December of last year, when He traveled to Colombia to visit his eldest son, Nahuel, who plays for Once Caldas. From Manizales went to Medellín to meet Juanfer Quintero again, with whom he maintains a relationship that goes beyond the limits of the playing field. Indeed, the footballer himself has said more than once that Gallardo was like a “dad” for him. Together they shared a party and even showed themselves in photos hugging and singing.

Upon returning to Buenos Aires, Gallardo continued with his personal pursuits. He enjoyed the World Cup and the consecration of the Argentina national team from a distance. And he took the opportunity to spend more time with his family and his closest environment to him. And also to relax. For example, when he spent a night full of music and with friends in Nordelta. Among them were Daniel Suárez and Nano Campoliete of La Bersuit.

At the beginning of the year, he surprised himself when a video of him appeared on social media, which was part of the announcement of the International friendly in Saudi Arabia between Paris Saint Germain and a team made up of the best players from Al-Hilal (Ramón Díaz’s team) and Al-Nassr, which was directed by him. There he went to Pablo Dolce and César Zinelli, members of his coaching staff, Mariano Barnao, who was football coach at River, and his representative, Juan Berros.

There he headed back to pity martinez, another of his favorite players. Also, had the pleasure of having Cristiano Ronaldo. And he held a strong, very heartfelt hug with Lionel Messi. It was an image that went around the world. After the match, they were seen chatting in good spirits on the pitch at King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh where the match was held.

It would not be the only reunion with the Rosario star, with whom he had shared a dinner some time ago – also attended by Javier Mascherano- in Barcelona. A couple of months later she saw him face to face in Ángel Labruna’s dressing room at the Monumental. He went to greet him after the national team’s friendly match with Panama, the day of celebrations for the World Cup victory. And they took a photo with the shirt that River gave to Leo with the “10” and “Messi” on the back. The Doll had watched the match and event from her box. It was his first return to Udaondo and Figueroa Alcorta after leaving the technical direction of the club.

There were other away games between the two meetings with Messi. One, in San Martín de los Andes, on vacation, where he enjoyed an electronic music festival. And the other in Europe, watching football. He went to England, where saw the Manchester City of Pep Guardiola and Julián ÁlvarezHe went through London and even Spain, to observe Atlético and Real Madrid. Meanwhile, rumors were growing that he would be on the shortlist to lead the “merengue” team, Tottenham and PSG.

Back in Buenos Aires, Gallardo continued to spend time with his children.. He was seen at RiverCamp, where he visited Santino, the third, who is in River’s sixth division. And he is excited about the possibility of seeing Matías, the second, in the First Division, after his unofficial debut in the friendly with the University of Chile. Also, plays and walks with Benjamin, the youngest, 3 years old and a half.

There is also no lack of sport. Gallardo continues to play paddle tennis, one of his favorite activities after football. And recently he teamed up with Rodrigo Mora in the Lasaigues de Retiro complex. And, on the other hand, he practices (takes lessons) and plays golf.

But not everything is ball or ball. He was at the CCK, where he was invited to attend a talk by Catalan chef Ferran Adrià. There he met his former collaborator Sandra Rossi, a doctor in neuroscience.

At some point, the idea of ​​settling in the United States for a few months crossed Gallardo’s mind. But, for now, it has not been confirmed. Meanwhile he is calm and observes the landscape. Like when he played and put the ball under the sole. And he’ll be back in the ring to direct when he hears.
