Overview
- The club confirmed the rescission on Oct. 28 by mutual agreement, and Benedetto is now a free agent.
- Benedetto played nine matches and 409 minutes for Newell’s without scoring, prolonging a drought that dates to Feb. 5, 2024.
- Injuries and limited continuity marked his time in Rosario, and he stopped training with the first team after Bernardi’s call.
- Bernardi assumed on Oct. 22 after Cristian Fabbiani’s dismissal and immediately streamlined the squad, sending three players to the reserves.
- A missed penalty against Belgrano in September became a defining image of his unsuccessful spell.
