Overview
- Racing confirmed Sebastián “Chirola” Romero and Luciano Aued will serve as interim head coaches until December, a change announced on Wednesday.
- The club accelerated Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s exit after its Copa Argentina elimination and installed the interim duo to finish the Clausura and stabilise the squad.
- Racing’s leadership has identified Nicolás Diez and Guillermo Barros Schelotto as leading options for a 2027 appointment, with Diez confirming contact and showing interest.
- Diez is under contract at Argentinos Juniors through December 2027 and Guillermo’s situation at Vélez is complicated by the club’s form and upcoming elections, meaning any hire will require inter-club negotiations.
- Racing faces six remaining Clausura matches while sitting near the bottom of Group B, so short-term results under the interim staff will shape the board’s mandate and the appeal of external candidates.
