Newell’s He doesn’t seem to have peace, not even when he’s not playing. Because on Friday they lost badly in La Paternal against Argentinos (3-1), on Saturday they were left without their coach Cristian Fabbiani and this Sunday everything became more difficult for them. San Martín de San Juan won and the red and black team was four points away from relegation in the accumulated table with nine to play.
A threat that seemed distant today is knocking on the door and must be cleared as soon as possible. And the only way to do it is with points, if it is with wins the better, but the red and black needs to stop losing urgently. Because the scenario today haunts him and he has little margin for error. Furthermore, the name of the new coach is still not known, who will surely be interim.
This Sunday Newell’s became a little more complicated with the accumulated table in terms of the risk of losing the category.
San Martín de San Juan defeated Independiente 1-0 and put more pressure on the red and black team to escape relegation.

Newell’s and an unexpected risk
Because now Lepra is only four points above the San Juan team, who are the last team that is currently descending in the accumulated table.
With the defeat against Argentinos in La Paternal by 3 to 1 last Friday, which led to the departure of Cristian Fabbiani, Newell’s was left with 30 points in the annual table.
And San Martín de San Juan with the victory against Rojo reached 26 points, that is, four less than the lepers with nine points to play.
Below Newell’s in the accumulated score are Gimnasia with 29 and Talleres and Godoy Cruz with 27. While Aldosivi has 24 points, but today he would drop down the average table.
In this very complex scenario, Newell’s is in the annual table, with three games to play in the Clausura, against Unión in the Coloso, Huracán in Parque Patricios and closing with Racing in the Park.
Of course it depends on himself and if he scores points he should move forward in this situation.
The Ogre Succession
There was great secrecy all weekend regarding the name of the new coach who will take the leprous reins on the three remaining dates of the Clausura.
Of course, one of the surnames in dance is that of the reserve coach Lucas Bernardi, an idol of the club as a player and who already had experience as a driver in the first division.
Maybe everything will depend on Lucas’ willingness to take on this challenge, since his original idea when he returned to the club was to work on training players in the reserve.
There are also no shortage of options in the house and there a plan already used at the end of last year is gaining strength again, when the youth coordinator Ariel Paolorossi together with Gabriel del Valle Medina, took over in another brief interim.
Furthermore, Adrián Coria could be a valuable collaborator, always willing to lend a hand.
And you should never rule out any coverage that you may assume urgently.
Maybe the decision has not yet been made official by the club and no alternative should be ruled out. For now, the squad is scheduled to train on Monday afternoon at the Bella Vista facility. Will the new coach be announced?
