“Today I am Secretary of Sport of the Municipality. It is not a question of resigning or not resigning. I have a huge responsibility with the head of the Government”. Thus, in 27 words, Carlos Retegui declared his loyalty to Horacio Rodríguez Larreta on Wednesday and made it clear that for the moment he will not accompany Carlos Tevez on his adventure as coach of Rosario Central.
Retegui assured that his role in the Buenos Aires government is “incompatible” being part of the coaching staff of the former Boca player.
“I’m a personal friend of Tevez. A week ago Central had a technician and this project came out overnight.”he said in statements on the radio Rock & Pop.

Asked about the possibility of some political pressure not to leave his position, the gold medal winner as coach of the men’s field hockey team at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, said: “Nobody from politics called me to squeeze me. “.
And he added: “There are many families who depend on me and I don’t leave overnight leaving people on the street”
The former Las Leonas manager said that “Rosario Central is one of the greatest teams in the world” and has left the door open on the possibility of joining Tevez’s project in the future.
“We’ll see. In everything that can accompany Carlos, I will accompany him”he concluded.
Who will now be Tevez’s right hand in El Canalla? Although it is not yet confirmed, all roads lead to Walter Erviti, who was born from a long, if not very fruitful, experience in Atlanta.
