There was no turning back. Just as they had anticipated Clarion during the weekend, Rubén Capria presented his early resignation from his position as manager of Racing this Monday, after a worn-out relationship with the leadership headed by the president Victor White.
The former enganche, who arrived at the club at the beginning of 2021 and his first decision was to hire Juan Antonio Pizzi, was “fed up”. He had renewed the contract last March, with a deadline at the end of December.
What were the reasons that led to the decision? He considers that he received a lot of disrespect, especially on social networks and from the fans, he was very upset with the insults that flowed in the last games and believes that there was no recognition for his work. The departure of Fernando Gago and the manipulation when choosing his replacement increased the displeasure.
There will be no replacement for Capria in the short term and the Racing coach will be determined by the leadership itself before Thursday. This same Monday, a meeting of the Board of Directors was called to evaluate the two strongest alternatives available so far.
One of them will take on the 2024 challenge and It will be a Gustavo. Costas or Quinteros.
For the moment he only met with Costas, an idol who is finally in the pipeline and has a great record for having been champion in five American leagues. The 60-year-old former central defender has proposals from outside, one of them from Chile’s Unoversidad, no less.
Quinteros, meanwhile, was in the orbit of Independiente before they decided on Carlos Tevez on the opposite side. The man from Santa Fe has not yet decided whether he will continue in Colo Colo, which has just finished the Chilean championship in third place.
The manager of the trans-Andean team, Daniel Morón, was very critical of the coach. Will an exit door be opened for him to reach Racing? “Colo Colo has the priority,” declared Quinteros. Either way, he will listen to Racing’s offer.
