While waiting for the official announcement, almost no one doubts it Diego Martinez will be the driver Mouth when the team begins to prepare for the 2024 season. The coach will become part of the technical staff that accompanied him in his last experience in Hurricane and which is made up of some men who have accompanied him since he began his career in Ituzaingóin 2015, and others that have been added in recent years.

The best-known face of Martínez’s working group is that of Cristian Bardarothat skilled right striker who made his debut with a goal against Gimnasia in the first of Velez with the team Marcelo Bielsa who won Closing tournament 1998. The boy who painted for crack had his career cut short in Strong for three operations on his right knee. Afterwards he played banfield, Montevideo Danube AND Tigerwhere he retired after suffering another serious injury, this time to his left knee, in December 2008.

Bardaro begins a new path in 2011, when he enters the minor leagues of Spanish sports. In 2014 you had a brief experience as an assistant Carlo Mayor to Godoy Cruz and then returned to Español, but in 2015 he met Fernando Ruizof whose technical staff he became part.

In the first task with Ruiz, he achieved promotion to Primera B Nacional with Almagro. He was also Primera B champion with Platense in the 2017/18 season and also worked for Atlanta and Deportes Valdivia in Chile.

His inclusion in Diego Martínez’s coaching staff took place in December 2021after the rise of Tiger to the Professional League and after Juan Manuel Saramain assistant coach since 2015, he decided to start his career as a head coach in Deportivo Maipu from Mendoza.

Another of Martínez’s assistants is Adrian Hector Gonzalez, who has two precedents linked to Boca. At the La Ribera club he trained as a footballer, went through the lower divisions, arrived in the Reserve and even played a friendly match with the Primera team which he then coached. Carlos Salvador Bilardo and who he had among his ranks Diego Armando Maradona.

On April 18, 1996, the Xeneize defeated Nueva Chicago 4 to 1 in Mataderos with a lineup made up of some players who were usually not starters and others from the Reserve. That afternoon, González, who was 22 years old, formed a central defender pairing Luis Medero and he also had the pleasure of sharing the land with him Blas Giunta, Aníbal MatellaN, Julio César Saldaña, Walter Pichey Cameroonian Alfonso Tchami, among others. Without a place in the first team, he left the club and spent his entire career in promotion clubs: he played San Miguel, Admiral Brown, Brown coral reef, Sarmiento AND Communications.

Already retired, González worked in Boca’s training divisions before joining Diego Martínez’s team in 2021. His knowledge of the fundamental forces of Xeneize facilitated the incorporation of Tigre Mateo Retegui, Facundo Colidio, Ezequiel Fernandez, Agostino Obando, Manuel Roffo AND Oscar Solomon.

Also Gustavo Diego Rodriguezanother assistant of Martínez for two and a half years, tHe has a wealth of experience in the club where he will return to work in the next few days.: He was coach of Boca’s children’s divisions for almost a decade, between January 2012 and June 2021. He was also, for 25 years (between 1992 and 2017), teacher and coordinator of the football school that two former players had in Haedo .from Boca, Walter Pico AND Diego Sonora (since 2013 it belongs only to Soñora).

One of the men who have accompanied the future Boca coach since the beginning of his career is Patrizio Ciavarellawho will be responsible for the tasks of educate, but he has an extremely versatile profile and plays a very important role in the technical staff. He is a Physical Education teacher, operator in Social Psychology and studies Psychology at the University of Buenos Aires and Ontological Coaching at the Latin American School of Coaching Ramos Mejía. But also He is the bassist of the band No Salgas Con Robots. From Yapa, He is the older brother of Catriel Ciavarella, drummer of Dividido.S.

Ciavarella worked from 2008 to 2012 in the technical staff of the Fourth Division of Tigre which he directed Fabiano Alegre. Subsequently he remained away from football for three years, until Martínez called him as goalkeeper coach of his technical staff in Ituzaingó. He also carried out this task together with the DT in Cañuelas, Communications, Midland Railway, Caseros Students, Godoy Cruz and Tigreuntil he started working as a coach at the end of 2022, despite having always had a fundamental role in the relationship with the players.

Martínez said it in an interview published on Argentine time in August 2022. “We believe a lot in relationships and communication. The conversations with Patricio are important. In Cañuelas, Pato brought magazines to cut out and put together in a collage. Another day he came with some clothes to disguise himself. In Godoy Cruz we took a bike ride through the mountains. He is taking them out of ultra-professionalism. Those activities that have nothing to do with football help us get to know the footballer as a person. And the group becomes strong”He explained.

Ciavarella’s change of position forced Martínez to look for a new goalkeeping coach in December last year. The chosen one was Pablo Campodonicowho retired in 2019 after a career that began and ended in Temperleywhich included the steps Sarmiento, Platense AND UAI Urquizabut which had had its most notable period in Aldoses.

idol of SharkCampodónico played there for a decade (between 2007 and 2017) and was a key element of the team that achieved the port team’s first promotion to the first division in 2014. With the Mar del Plata team he played 326 matches in tournaments organized by the Argentine Football Federation, a record number in the history of the club.

After retiring, he coached goalkeepers at Kimberley and the Aldosivi women’s team. Furthermore, since March 2022 you have had a training academy for footballers in Mar del Plata specializing in goalkeeper training.

In addition to Ciavarella, the other man who accompanied Martínez from that initiatory experience in Ituzaingó is Juan Manuel Conteone of the two physical trainers (the second is Leandro Mazziotti, who joined the group in Tigre). The video analyst Omar Matteo completes the technical staff.

Surely everyone will be at Boca once Martínez resolves his departure from Huracán and signs the contract. We will have to see what happens with the physical trainer Pablo Santella and the goalkeeping trainer Fernando Gayoso, who are employees of the club and could continue to have their roles in the first team.
