Banfield left without DT: Javier Sanguinetti left after a weak campaign and an old acquaintance appears

Superclásico Sunday also marked the end of the cycle for the coaches of two teams in the Professional League. At noon Diego Dabove’s departure from Huracán was confirmed and around midnight, after a day full of rumors, the departure of Javier Sanguinetti as technical director of Banfield was finalised. There are already ten sets that have changed drivers in the 15 dates of the competition.

“We inform you that after a meeting of the coaching staff with the President (Eduardo Spinosa) and the Football Commission, it has been decided by mutual agreement to close this cycle of Javier Sanguinetti as Banfield manager”, summarizes the post published on the official Twitter by the club of southern Greater Buenos Aires.

He continues: “We thank Archu and his coaching staff for taking the lead of the team without hesitation when requested at the end of last year and for the professionalism and love for the Club with which they carried out their duties.”

This is the end of Sanguinetti’s second cycle at the club. idol as a footballer -he’s the one who has played the most games with the albiverde shirt- and a big step in his first phase -he led the team to the final of the Maradona Cup in 2020-, this season’s numbers clearly show all the difficulties with those which he found once he took over from Claudio Vivas.

In 20 games in lead, they have barely picked up four wins, with seven draws and nine defeats. An effectiveness of just 31 percent which illustrates its worrying position in the ranking of the professional League and its present, more than complex, in the ranking of the averages.

Although there are still no official confirmations, the idea of ​​the Banfield management is to speed up the signing of a substitute who will take charge of the team in view of Saturday’s match against San Lorenzo, the 16th round of the tournament, at the stadium Florencio alone. .

And there are chances that Julio Falcioni, the hero of the Drill for being the DT who made him play in international cups and who then led him to his first professional title (Apertura 2009), will be called up in the next few hours for a meeting with the Board of Directors. The names of Carlos Tevez, Pablo Lavallén and Abel Balbo also resonate, although at this moment they would be running from behind. Behind it, some cite two old idols like Walter Erviti -he had an experience in Atlanta and is unemployed, even though he has had disagreements and legal disputes with the current management- and Darío Cvitanich -he has just graduated as a DT-.
