On Sunday 4 February Raggio took charge of his first full-court match at Estudiantes de Río Cuarto. The victory was 1-0 against Deprotivo Madryn and Carozo, as he is nicknamed, showed no health problems.
However, the next day, he was admitted to the Río Cuarto Medical Institute for a “bilateral respiratory condition”, according to the club.
Raggio, born in Villa Constitución and raised as a footballer in the prolific lower divisions of Newell’s Old Boys of Rosario, had been admitted to a clinic in the Mediterranean province with a condition of “dehydration and pneumonia”.
It was thought that he would be discharged the following day, but the situation became complicated to the point of requiring increasingly powerful respiratory assistance. In fact, they follow the chains of prayers to give strength to the expert DT.
