Newell’s and Darío Benedetto Part Ways After Mutual Contract Termination

Interim coach Lucas Bernardi informed the 35-year-old he was not in his plans, triggering an early exit after a brief, scoreless stint.

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.
