Gustavo Quinteros Nears Independiente Job After Arriving in Argentina

The board seeks rapid closure to enable an immediate start before the Avellaneda derby.

Overview

  • Quinteros said the deal is practically agreed with only minor details pending after landing in Ezeiza to finalize terms.
  • Club officials are pushing to conclude the contract quickly so he can take charge of the squad as soon as paperwork is complete.
  • Reports differ on timing of a first game, with some suggesting he could be on the bench in the next fixture and others expecting a debut in the Sept. 28 derby at Racing, pending finalization.
  • He asked supporters for patience, saying the remainder of the year will focus on evaluating the roster and laying plans for next season with room for youth players.
  • The 60-year-old is set to replace Julio Vaccari, who left after a poor run that includes last place in Zona B and a CONMEBOL disqualification from the Copa Sudamericana, with Carlos Matheu and Eduardo Tuzzio serving interim duties.
