Overview
- Ricardo Rodríguez died in Buenos Aires on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at age 72, Argentine outlets in Tucumán and Buenos Aires reported.
- He managed Atlético Tucumán from July 2012 to November 2013, overseeing 56 official matches and signing players who became pillars of the club’s later rise.
- Rodríguez began his coaching career at All Boys in 1997, completed three separate spells there and was widely identified with that club throughout his career.
- In recent years he worked across the Liga Tucumana, leading Central Norte (2020–21), Juventud Unida de Tafí Viejo (2022) and Sportivo Guzmán (2023), and returned to Buenos Aires for medical care before his death.
- One report names El Porvenir as his last club in 2025 but that detail has limited corroboration; clubs including Defensa y Justicia have already posted condolences and tributes are expected from Tucumán and All Boys supporters.
