The Platense coach confirmed that he is the opposition candidate to be the coach of Boca Juniors
After Platense’s victory once morest Sarmiento de Junín this Saturday, Martín Palermo gave certainty regarding his future related to Boca Juniors. As Infobae anticipated on Friday, Titán is the candidate to be the club’s coach if Andrés Ibarra’s list, accompanied by Mauricio Macri, wins the elections.
At a press conference, it was clear: “Today Andrés Barra is the one running to be the next president of Boca accompanied by Mauricio (Macri) and since I started my career as a coach, they have always asked me what my dream was, always I said it was directing Boca or Estudiantes. Today I am with the possibility that Andrés Ibarra has considered me to fulfill that dream of being Boca coach.”
The elections in Xeneize will take place next Sunday and on the side of the ruling party Juan Román Riquelme, current vice president, will head the list. For this reason, Palermo avoided entering into conflict with his former partner and assured that he does not want to “play politically,” but he did not hide his desire for the opposition to triumph in order to fulfill his dream.
“You know how I am, in all this time, other presidents have passed, Angelici with two terms, there was Vasco Arruabarrena, there was Guillermo, other coaches and I was never in consideration, they never called me. With this current management, it has been Ibarra’s turn to Battaglia and it has not obviously been my turn. Today, if things work out, I have the possibility of being Boca’s coach. “It is my dream, it is my wish, but obviously we have to wait for things to happen,” he stated. “I have to feel grateful that if things go the way I think they can happen, I will be Boca’s next coach.”
In addition, he made it clear that the Platense leadership was always aware of his thoughts, so there would be no major problems in separating from Vicente López’s club. In this sense, he added: “I am waiting for that dream to come true and that one day I have to return to La Bombonera and the fans welcome me as the coach of Boca and not the coach of the team that faces Boca. And there is nothing more to give much thought to this, it is reality.”
On the side of the ruling party, secrecy remains regarding Mariano Herrón’s replacement. Juan Román Riquelme clarified that he will only confirm the new coach following the elections: “We are going to announce it. I am always convinced and who I want to call. Diego Martínez? He always did well, but I like a lot of coaches. We were always convinced of the things we did. The coach we are going to try to bring is the best coach.” In addition to the coach of Huracán, who has a contract at the Globe until June 2024, those who are on the radar are Eduardo Domínguez (with a contract until the end of the year at Estudiantes de La Plata) and Gabriel Milito, who is free but would opt for direct abroad.
