Newell’s Dismisses Cristian Fabbiani After 3–1 Defeat, Plans Interim Staff for Final Three Games

President Ignacio Astore acted after a winless skid left the team exposed in the annual table.

Overview

  • Hours after saying he would not resign, Fabbiani was informed on Saturday morning that he was out following the 3–1 loss to Argentinos Juniors.
  • An interim solution is being arranged, with reports that Reserve coach Lucas Bernardi declined due to a contract clause as the club weighs an emergency staff from its youth coordinators.
  • Newell’s has a two‑week pause for national elections before hosting Unión, then plays Huracán away and Racing at home to close the Clausura.
  • Local reports indicate the club will owe roughly $500,000 to rescind Fabbiani’s deal, which ran through December 2026.
  • The team is on a six‑match winless run and sits 14th in the Clausura with 11 points, raising relegation concerns, while Fabbiani’s tenure finished at 27 games with 8 wins, 9 losses and 10 draws.
