While the Football Council defines who will be the new coach of Boca, Ricardo Caruso Lombardi spoke about it and dropped several bombs. In dialogue with Radio La Red, the media DT ran to replace Hugo IbarraHe assured that people ask him for it and he even said what he would do with the team, as well as who would be the first “reinforcement” that he would bring.
“How am I not going to encourage myself to be the DT of Boca? Of course I’m encouraged, I’ve been directing for 30 years,” he answered the question and added: “People on the street yell at me ‘grab Boca’. Boca You have a lot of big guys who must be difficult to handle and you don’t have a lot of alternatives, that’s the problem.”
“But strange things happen, what they did with Battaglia or Ibarra. I would not accept that riquelme I put together the squad”, he continued with a direct stick to Román. He also stated that “he would play with Benedetto and Merentiel as a double 9” and highlighted the good moment of Nicolás Figal in defense.
Immediately afterwards, he threw away one of his historic phrases when he said “when you don’t direct you are the Favaloro of Argentine football” and took a few minutes to talk about Mateo Retegui. “The case is simple: they underestimate the Argentine players. If I was the DT of Boca, the first one that came was retegui“, He launched Caruso to close.
The last team he led Caruso Lombardi It was Belgrano de Córdoba in the 2019-2020 season. The former Racing Club, San Lorenzo and Newell’s, among others, confessed weeks ago that he underwent surgery at the Mater Dei sanatorium for a tumor on his head and that he is now in a recovery process.
