Boca Juniors: the knockout in the Superclasico is fatal for Fernando Gago

It’lasted 192 days Fernando Gago’s adventure on the bench of Boca Juniors. The former Real Madrid and Roma midfielder, in fact, was exonerated by the Argentine club after the defeat in the “Superclasico” with River Plate 2-1. Announcing the decision was Boca Juniors board member Mauricio Serna.

“We have made a decision: Gago and his technical staff have ended their relationship with the club. We made it very calmly. It was not easy because he is a man who is at home here, but we have to make decisions. After the knockout with River we tried and found a way for Gago to no longer be our coach” the executive began.

“Herròn will take over the leadership of the first team momentarily and in the meantime we will make our considerations to choose the best possible coach” added Mauricio Serna.

Despite qualifying for the round of 16 of the Torneo Apertura 2025, Fernando Gago is paying dearly for his failure to qualify for the Copa Libertadores, elimination from the semifinals of the Copa Argentina and defeat in the Superclasico with River.
