X-ray of the DT of Córdoba: between continuity and pressures

The stability of the coaches in Argentine soccer is a utopia. The word ‘project’ is the most used but the least practiced. as sample ok
It should be noted that in the 17 dates played in the Professional League, 11 coaches of the 28 teams that participated in the contest have already been fired or left their posts; while in the First National, of the 37 coaches who started the tournament, 15 have already been laid off or stepped aside. All a fact of the times that are lived in Argentine soccer.

In Córdoba, the reality is different: Javier Gandolfi, Guillermo Farré and Carlos Bossio remain firm in their positions both in Talleres and in Belgrano and Racing de Nueva Italia, respectively; while Lucas Bovaglio and Marcelo Vázquez continue in their positions – where they achieved very good results – although in recent times some setbacks have put them in their sights, but with the idea of ​​long-term projects and results.

Regularity. On May 19, 2021, Guillermo Farré took over as technical director of Belgrano. The “Pirate” was not going through a good moment in the First National and the former midfielder left his position as Ricardo Zielinski’s field assistant at Estudiantes de La Plata, to face his first experience as head coach.

Two years later, he entered the history of the club with the title and promotion last year and today he is going through a good moment in the First Division, where he is in the main positions of the standings. The ‘Guille’ is the second DT with more permanence among those who direct in the Professional League, behind Gabriel Milito in Argentinos Juniors.

On November 1, 2022, the Talleres leadership states that Javier Gandolfi would be the main DT of the albiazul cast. ‘Cobija’ had already given signs of his relevance in the squad, directing him in the locker room and on the pitch as an interim.

His first experience as interim coach was beating Güemes de Santiago del Estero 4-0, on March 17, for the Argentine Cup. then they came
a couple of successful matches and Pedro Caixinha arrived. There the former central marker was a field assistant. When he left the Portuguese, he returned to that position with performances that put him under consideration. The result is known: for this season it was confirmed, today he leads one of the teams that plays best in the Professional League and is encouraged to fight for the tournament against River.

On March 18, 2022, Carlos ‘Chiquito’ Bossio took over the ‘Academy’ after Hernán Medina left for Honduras. The former goalkeeper, who worked in the ‘Tota’ coaching staff, continued on the path of good play. Thus, he put together a great team in Federal A, preceded the long-awaited promotion in November and today in the First National he is close to the qualifying zone for the second promotion, although the team entered a losing streak.

In the sights, but with a bank. Lucas Bovaglio arrived in Alta Córdoba in December 2021 and in November 2022 he brought about the long-awaited return to the First Division after 17 years. He did it with a praised style of play, placing himself a second behind Belgrano and winning the Reduced. In the first games in the First Division he showed an interesting game and even beat Boca at La Bombonera. After that triumph they renewed his contract until 2024. But since then
the level of the team declined: they lost 6 games, drew 1 and won 2, and rumors about their continuity began.

On April 30, Estudiantes de Río Cuarto lost to Deportivo Morón and Marcelo Vázquez was left taking a step to the side. However, the ‘León’ leadership asked him to think about it and take some time. Three dates passed, the team won two games, including one for the Argentine Cup, and lost another. And this week it was confirmed to continue being the DT. The man from Mendoza is very loved, since with him the Celestes of the Empire achieved historic promotions and last season when he returned (March 14, 2022) the team straightened its course.

In women’s football too. Belgrano plays in the AFA Women’s Soccer First Division and maintains the coach who promoted him to that position from Primera B: Maximiliano Luján. While Talleres participates in Primera B and Miqueas Russo, the DT who achieved promotion from Primera C, remains in his position. Both technicians have been in their positions for more than a year.
