Independiente Unveils Gustavo Quinteros as Head Coach on Deal Through 2026

He prioritizes a psychological reset for a squad stuck at the bottom of Zone A before a clásico debut.

Overview

  • Quinteros was presented at the Estadio Libertadores de América after watching the 1-1 draw with San Lorenzo from the stands.
  • His contract runs until December 2026 and his staff includes assistants Leandro Desábato, Maximiliano Quezada and Rodrigo Quinteros, with Hugo Roldán as fitness coach.
  • The first training session is scheduled for Tuesday, with his debut set for Sunday against Racing at the Cilindro.
  • Independiente sits last in Zone A of the Clausura, making progression to the next stage unlikely based on current form.
  • Quinteros said restoring player confidence is the immediate goal, signaled limited early changes, plans to speak with Julio Vaccari, and expressed an ambition to build a team capable of competing for titles.
