Overview
- Di Pierro castigated the team on club program Mano a Mano Chacarita, saying the players lack “actitud” and “sangre” and calling them “cagones.”
- He mocked image and conduct, telling players to stop dyeing their hair blonde and wearing red boots, and warned he would “romper la cabeza” to anyone caught in a nightclub.
- He argued the club has met all needs — psychologist, nutritionist, hotels and salaries — and questioned the squad’s commitment despite those resources.
- He backed new coach Carlos Mayor and singled out Víctor Figueroa and Federico Bravo as exceptions for effort and leadership.
- Chacarita sits eighth in Zone B with 48 points after a 1-0 home loss to Almirante Brown, level with Agropecuario on points, and next visits Central Norte in Salta on Sunday.
