The anger materialized in a thunderous boo and protest songs against the players, the management and the coach. Sunday’s 2-1 defeat at local Estudiantes ended up exhausting the patience of Independiente fans, who have been accumulating frustrations for a long time. Pedro Monzón has not spoken but will continue to lead the squad temporarily as they visit Rosario Central this Wednesday and will also be on the bench against Racing next Sunday.

It is that, beyond the urgencies that Red has today for a worrying football present (apart from the mountain of debts of the previous management) which finds him increasingly at the bottom of the standings, he won’t have a new DT until next week.

Pablo Repetto is the man chosen for the position which has become vacant following the farewell of Leandro Stillitano, a first management bet gone very badly. Full agreement was reached with the 49-year-old Uruguayan last week in a face-off held at the home of president Fabián Doman, taking advantage of the presence of the coach who was the last member of Nacional de Montevideo in the country due to personal problems .

There it was also established that Repetto, who generated acclaim behind the scenes of Diablo and who also fell positively in the opinion of the fans, would start work after the Avellaneda classic since, due to time constraints, everything could not be finalized Before.

The Uruguayan coach returned to Ecuador last weekend, where he lives with his family. as he learned clarion, must finish solving personal logistics and procedure factors that are not resolved overnight. Moving to another country has its complications.

Add to this that the calendar plays against Red. The weekday date shortens all possible working times. To make matters worse, this happens on the eve of a key duel like the one he will face against Fernando Gago’s Academy. If Repetto were to take over on Thursday, for example, he would only train on Friday and Saturday to prepare for an important match.

Anyway, The Uruguayan has decided to arrive in Argentina only on Mondays of next week to be presented the following day. This Tuesday, the contracts between his representative and the Independiente management will begin to be exchanged.

If everything that was talked about a couple of days ago is reflected in the newspapers, there will be white smoke to announce the new DT, much in demand by fans who want to see football change as soon as possible.

Looking at the table and seeing yourself sinking lower and lower produces greater despair and disrupts an already heated environment much more. Mistakes in sport made this start to the year not as expected after an intense and stressful year due to the elections that were finally held in October.

The determination to break Julio Falcioni’s link to bring in Stillitano, who had no experience as a first manager in the First Division, was unsuccessful and people voiced their dissent. Repetto’s choice seems to have been welcomed by the fans, even if they will still have to wait to see him with the Devil’s diver.

Two rounds to go to Rosario

Tomorrow there will be two team returns to visit Central in Rosario. Nicolás Vallejo met his suspension date following his sending off against San Lorenzo and will play in place of Tomás Rambert.

Meanwhile, Juan Cazares will be another one to return. The Ecuadorian had been punished for disappearing without warning last Monday (his birthday) and was not called up for the last weekend. Monzón will forgive him.
