Overnight, plans Boca Juniors for 2026 are now full of doubts. When it seemed that continuity was assured for Claudio Ubedathe elimination against Racing in the Clausura Tournament today left him without certainties.
Although Xeneize closed the year with qualification for the 2026 Copa Libertadores, they finished another season without titles and the way they fell to the Academy leaves Úbeda with one foot outside the Ribera club. As always, Juan Román Riquelme will have the last word in the coming weeks.
While the situation of Sifón and his coaching staff is being defined, the names available to fill the role of Boca’s technical director are beginning to emerge. However, after the game against Racing, a figure was mentioned that no one had in mind.
The thing is Guillermo Morenoformer Secretary of Internal Trade of the Argentine Republic until 2013, said in an interview with Crónica that Boca should take advantage of the current dollar, ironed in the country, to look for an international figure like Pep Guardiola.
“With this type of exchange you can bring it to Guardiola. You bring it to Guardiola and Boca pays for it without problems,” said Moreno, recently convicted and disqualified by the Supreme Court from holding public office. “Now, later… When the dollar rises, forget about it. How are you going to pay for it?” he added with a laugh in case the current scenario does not hold up.
