Independiente Appoints Jadson Viera as New Head Coach

The one-year contract includes a clause that lets the club rescind the deal in December so newly elected directors can decide the long‑term coach.

Jadson Viera, exentrenador de Boston River y Nacional de Uruguay, será el nuevo DT de Independiente
Viera llegará al Rojo para hacerse cargo del plantel al menos hasta fin de año cuando el club renueve sus autoridades.

Overview

  • Independiente moved after the 0-4 loss to Atlético Tucumán and elimination from the Copa Argentina to replace Gustavo Quinteros with a new coach.
  • The club announced Viera's hiring on Saturday after rapid talks and a visit to the Villa Domínico training ground.
  • The agreement is for one year and contains a rescission clause that allows termination in December at no cost if the club's leadership changes after elections.
  • Carlos Matheu and Eduardo Tuzzio will serve as interim coaches for the next match and Viera is scheduled to take full charge for Independiente’s home game on August 22.
  • Viera is a 45-year-old, Brazilian-born coach naturalized in Uruguay who won the 2025 Uruguayan title with Nacional and built a reputation for possession, organized pressing and youth promotion; club financial limits and the election-linked clause mean his project will be short and focused, and sources say agent ties helped speed the appointment.
