Jorge Brito rompió el silencio: salió a bancar a Marcelo Gallardo y habló de la crisis de River

Overview

  • River have lost six of their last seven matches, including four straight in the Torneo Clausura.
  • President Jorge Brito labeled Marcelo Gallardo the principal responsible for the poor form yet said neither the board nor the opposition is pursuing a coaching change.
  • He said Gallardo will choose whether to continue when his contract expires on December 31, 2025, with the decision coming after the club’s November 1 elections.
  • Brito cited heavy rotation, injuries and national-team call-ups for the instability that has prevented a settled starting eleven.
  • He highlighted a decisive stretch that includes the October 24 Copa Argentina semifinal against Independiente Rivadavia and an early‑November Superclásico at La Bombonera, urging a swift turnaround as fans voiced displeasure with boos.
