Carlos Tevez faces a new challenge in his football career.
It seems imminent – the landing of Carlos Tevez in Central Rosary become the new trainer and successor of Leandro Somoza, and thus make his first experience with the DT diver. And for this Friday, the official announcement of the Rosario entity is expected, but the details are still missing and there would be a new meeting between the parties to be able to polish them.
Tevez had announced his retirement from football in early June in the Loose Animals program led by Alejandro Fantino, and had also launched himself as a coach: “Now I’m here to direct,” he said. But he wasn’t expected to be given the opportunity to lead a team with the history and calling that Central has so fast.
Tevez, who from his beginnings in football has been associated with representative Adrián Ruocco, has now appealed Christian Bragnik and among the three they convinced the vice president of the Central, Ricardo Carloni – the president Rodolfo Di Pollina is on medical leave – that Apache and his technical staff were the best option when the Rascal had almost buttoned Pablo’s return Vitamin Sanchez.

A Rosario Central fan, who went viral on social media for expressing his opinion, explained it perfectly: “Vitamin is more linked to the club, but at this moment the arrival of Tevez suits us because he promised to pay all the debts and bring in reinforcements. What does the team need?
Beyond the final outburst against the president, the small Canalla fan reflects what many fans think who see in a squad without hierarchies in the face of the economic needs of the club and the figure of Bragarnik a possible solution to their problems.
What is Tevez’s project and who will accompany him to Rosario
Tevez asked for a three-year contract to develop his idea at the Rosario, but would eventually sign one as Carloni cannot commit Central to a long-term bond as the club’s elections will be held in October (there is a hot intern between the ruling party that would take Carloni as a candidate and the opposition led by Diego Lavezzi).
Thus, Tevez will take over the post together with his three brothers: Diego, Miguel and Ariel. Together with them, the Apache toured Europe where he met Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri; with Javier Zanetti and DT Simone Inzaghi, at Inter; and Paolo Maldini and Stefano Pioli. But it is not yet known which physical trainer will have the brand new DT.
What Tevez had advanced in his TV interview was that he would be accompanied Carlos Chapa Reteguiwho like Ariel Holan would make the leap from field hockey to professional football.
But there is another problem to be solved: who will stand on the line of the file and who will sign the form. Since Tevez has completed a year and a half as a coach, he will not be able to officially bring the team to the field. As in the case of Gabriel Heinze, Carlitos would have to wait to take his place on the bench. Could Retegui do it?
Meanwhile, after Central’s 1-0 victory over Godoy Cruz last night at Gigante de Arroyito, the goalkeeper Gaspare Servio (goal scorer, penalty and former goalkeeper of Diego Maradona’s Dorados in Sinaloa, Mexico) said: “For me it is something special that Carlitos can come. If he touches him, the group brings him back to death. We hope it arrives, we still don’t know anything but we have heard rumors and we are waiting. He had a lot of experience as a player and we are ready to learn how to carry the Central forward together, which is why we are employees of the club. “
While the official announcement is delayed, Rosario awaits a press conference this Friday at 7pm and that Tevez will appear in Liniers on Monday to follow the duel against Vélez from the audience and direct his first training session on Tuesday.

Just three weeks ago, the Olympic champion trains with Los Leones at the Rio 2016 Games and silver in Tokyo 2020; and world champion in 2010 with Las Leonas and silver in London 2012, he assumed the position of Secretary of Sport of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires and hiring in Central together with Tevez it seems difficult that he can perform both functions.
How could he find out ClarioneRetegui worked normally and held meetings in his office in via Uspallata, and gave no indications on what he will do in the next few days.
It is estimated in GCBA that there will be news as the long weekend passes, but for now it is not known what will happen to his post in the secretariat. Chapa’s situation will be fundamental in the negotiations that Tevez and Ruocco have with Carloni. What seems certain is that the coach will have to leave the current position to accompany Carlitos in his first experience as a DT.
