Luis Zubeldía in Racing is one of the top candidates to be the next coach. At least in the minds of the leadership, although they know it is very complicated, they want to make an attempt. They understand that it combines several characteristics for this moment in the club and that it can be a good option. Much more after some for whom there were contacts have been left out of the plan. Or at least polls. That happened as soon as Fernando Gago left, when the intention was to incorporate someone who was out of work and in a position to take charge. But the main options said no and they began to look at those who have a connection. Already thinking about the next season, where many must renew or change their air.
In recent weeks the decision was made that The Academy coach will be chosen at the end of the year. Finish this League Cup with the duo of Ezequiel Videla and Sebastián Grazzini at the helm and try to make it the best way. Because of course that is another important reason to see which coach to look for. It’s one thing if you play Copa Libertadores in 2024, if you stay with the Sudamericana or if you stay out of everything. The scene changes.
His possible renewal with Liga de Quito
However, thinking about the ideal, The Racing leadership has Zubeldía in its sights. A dream, knowing that it is very complex. The former Lanús coach ends his contract with Liga de Quito at the end of the year and must decide whether he renews or not. He has just been champion of the Copa Sudamericana and in Ecuador they want to renew him no matter what. In fact, they quietly say that he made progress in that negotiation, but no one dares to ensure his continuity. They even know that the DT He could analyze returning to the country for a sporting challenge in a great Argentine soccer club. Although, of course, with this recent achievement other competitors may also appear, such as from the Brazilian league. In Avellaneda they are already starting to prepare the ground to seduce him because they know that it will not be easy to hire him.. And a decision was made that brings it closer.
Two names that tempt Zubeldía, possible Racing coach
In the last hours the management called Bruno Zuculini and let him know that they want him for next season. The contact was with his agent to start chatting and see if his return is viable. Today he is in River, but his relationship ends at the end of the year and the midfielder who emerged from the Tita property and is an Acadé fan, wants to return. The possible incorporation of this player is an important reason to seduce Zubeldía to wear the Racing jersey.
It is known that when the coach had his first cycle at the club, Bruno was already on the squad and with him he found his best version. He accommodated him, gave him a lot of continuity and made him step into the area and score goals. In the 2012/2013 season he scored five goals. For both Zucu and the coach, meeting again is a temptation and both negotiations can benefit from that.Luis Zubeldía in Racing is a candidate and the call to Zuculini to be a reinforcement may tempt him.
But it is not the only name that can make the coach return to the Academy and have his second cycle. In addition to Bruno Zuculini, who would arrive in January to replace Aníbal Moreno who will go to Palmeiras, there is another important figure. In this case we are talking about someone who is already in the club and who knows the coach very well: Roger Martínez. The Colombian debuted in the First Division just promoted by Zubeldía, who sent him to the field in 2013 in a Copa Sudamericana match. It was the coach who made him debut, the one who accompanied him in his beginnings and who helped him in his training.
Now, with experience and much more mature, they could meet again. It is clear that these two players can influence a negotiation with Zubeldía to join Racing. A call to tempt him beyond money. With names, with a project and challenges ahead. For that, it is clear, it is also key to finish the year classified as something important…
