Overview

• Fernando Gago was officially dismissed as Boca Juniors' head coach on Tuesday morning after a 2-1 loss to River Plate in the Superclásico.
• The decision, led by Juan Román Riquelme and the Consejo de Fútbol, comes after 192 days in charge, marking the shortest tenure under Riquelme's leadership since 2019.
• Gago's tenure included 30 matches with 17 wins, 6 draws, and 7 losses, but his conservative tactics and key eliminations, including from the Copa Libertadores, drew heavy criticism.
• Mariano Herrón, previously the reserve team coach, has been appointed interim head coach and will lead the team in the upcoming match against Tigre.
• Initial communications have reportedly begun with Gabriel Milito, a top candidate to replace Gago, as the club prioritizes stability ahead of the Mundial de Clubes and domestic playoffs.
