After the draw against River in their Professional League debut, Defense and Justice will have several difficult games and could face them without the presence of his TD on the bench. And it is that, after being sent off just a few days ago against the Millionaire, Sebastián Beccacece could face a harsh penalty.
Rosario’s manager was sent off due to an unusual situation when he interrupted a throw-in that allegedly would have been scored by River, Andrés Herrera. Beccacece had asked for a change, and his idea was that it was done before the sides, so he stood in front of the millionaire player with his hands raised to prevent him from putting the ball back into play, and he saw the red one.
To make matters worse, the former Racing and Independiente coach had a tough exchange with Marcelo Gallardo as he left for the changing room area, and several witnesses present on site ensure that this clash had another chapter in the post-match. . Now, it was the disciplinary court’s turn to act, and the penalty for the “Halcón” TD could be very severe.

The announcement of the Tribunal Management would take place this afternoon, but there is already talk of a possible sanction that would leave Beccacece off the substitutes’ bench up to four matches. Thus, the matches against Lanús, Huracán, Godoy Cruz and Vélez would be lost. It remains to be determined whether the sanction will be redeemable for a fine.
Therefore, Defense and Justice should face their next engagements under the orders of Nicolás Diez, aide-de-camp of Beccacece. In principle, and in the event that the “Halcón” TD is finally sanctioned with 4 games, Rosario could return to his seat on the bench at the beginning of July, when the defense will visit Gimnasia de La Plata.
The background of Beccacece
If something is clear, it is that this is not the first – nor the second – occasion in which Beccacece experiences a situation of this type, and it is that, since his debut as a coach in 2016, when he took charge of the University from Chile, Rosario starred in more than one controversial episode.
The first, in fact, took place during his first experience as a manager in Chilean football, and more precisely in a ‘Clásico Universitario’ where the Universidad Católica defeated Universidad de Chile 3-0 at the National Stadium. That afternoon Beccacece was denounced by the Law on violence in stadiums.
Beccacece is an episode that could cost you dearly.
The episode had to do with a violent kick that the DT gave to a refrigerator who was next to the substitutes’ bench after referee Roberto Tobar awarded him a penalty. Shortly after, the technician would leave the bank of the Chilean club, and would end up in Defense and Justice.
From that moment, while ignoring those controversies that he saw as protagonist during his time with the Argentine national team – he was Jorge Sampaoli’s assistant field -, we can find many other examples. From a fight with Pablo Pérez during his stay at Independiente, to an act of violation for throwing a bottle at San Lorenzo, just some of the controversies of the DT.
Perhaps one of the most remembered, since it only happened a few months ago, was his controversy with Iván Delfino, then technician on the Board of Trustees. That pass came in a 2-2 draw in Paraná, in which Beccacece shouted for his team’s equality in front of the substitutes ‘Patrón’ bench.
Delfino did not like it at all, and as soon as the first half was over he went to face Defense DT. A clash, pushes and a fight that moved into the locker room, to add another controversy to Rosario’s career. The latest of his controversies took place on Sunday against River. Now he will be punished. Will this punishment be a turning point for Beccacece?
