And it is a fact. Julio César Falcioni will play his third leg as Independiente manager. The expert coach has reached an agreement with the management and this morning he arrived early in Avellaneda where he signed the contract that binds him to Rojo and this afternoon he will direct the first free practice with the team that just beat him at Columbus.
The duration of the bond emperor It will be a year, the minimum for a technical director. But in between, the club will have a new Board of Directors, which will be elected by the members in the elections on Sunday, October 2, so their tenure could be tied to what happens in the election.
Falcioni replaces Dominguez who had previously replaced Falcioni,
While not finding the political support of the entire arc, as he had asked the rest of the lists that will participate in the electoral actFalcioni accepted the proposal and will begin to work in view of the classic of the next match against River, at home.
Regarding that match, at this moment APreViDe will define whether Independiente will be able to perform again in its stadium and with the public after playing locally in Platense and behind closed doors against Atlético Tucumán. This had happened after the serious incidents that occurred in the protest of the fans at the assembly held at the club’s headquarters.
The situation is at least particular, given that the emperor will arrive hand in hand with a president, Hugo Moyano, and his right hand man, Héctor Maldonado (secretary general of the Red), who have already announced that they are lowering their candidacy, so do not they will continue beyond October. What if the new president chooses to bring in another DT?
Both Fabián Doman and Claudio Rudecindo, who lead the two opposition lists, have warned that they have never received the advice of the management on the issue of the coach. Rudecindo also made it clear that he was against Falcioni’s arrival. And before Moyano’s farewell, the ruling party still doesn’t have a firm candidate.

For now Falcioni will be accompanied by Néstor Píccoli and Pedro Monzón (who will leave the role of coach of the South Dock) as field assistants and Gustavo Otero and Rodrigo Castellanos as physical trainers. In addition, César Velázquez will be the goalkeepers coach.
After directing Colón and leaving after elimination with Talleres in Copa Libertadores, and seven months after leaving Independiente because they had not renewed the contract, Falcioni returns to Red to try to straighten the course of a team that has long been sailing in mediocrity.
Sunday against River will make his third debut on the Devil’s bench. And in the 16 games remaining until the end of the tournament, he will be focused on getting the club out of the football hole where he is trying to add as many points as possible.
