Overview
- Crowds at La Bombonera chanted for Tevez and gave him a sustained ovation as he stepped onto the pitch as Talleres manager.
- Club representatives presented a framed No. 10 jersey, and Chelo Delgado handed him a special “Carlitos 10” shirt during the pre-match tribute.
- Tevez’s return came for a Clausura round-of-16 tie, adding competitive stakes to the ceremony at Boca’s stadium.
- Since taking over in Córdoba, he helped Talleres avoid relegation and reach the tournament’s last 16, strengthening his coaching credentials.
- Talleres president Andrés Fassi said there is “Tevez for a long time,” while a strained relationship with Juan Román Riquelme and Tevez’s focus on Talleres undercut talk of a swift Boca return, despite informal inquiries after Miguel Ángel Russo’s death.
