The victory over Sarmiento, 1-0, this Sunday (28th) at Estadio Mâs Monumental, marked Demichelis’s farewell from the helm of River Plate. The decision for his departure was made after a meeting last week, where the board showed support for the coach and discussed potential reinforcements. However, increasing pressure from opposition and the stands made his continued tenure unfeasible.
Demichelis took charge of River Plate in December 2022 and, despite winning three titles, faced constant criticism regarding the quality of football and recent results. The team’s last victory in official matches was on June 2nd, contributing to the unsustainable environment that led to his dismissal.
With Demichelis’s departure, there is speculation about the return of Marcelo Gallardo, who built a legacy at River Plate between 2014 and 2022. Gallardo, who recently left Al-Ittihad (Saudi Arabia) after a disappointing stint, is considered a viable option to take over the team’s technical command.
The dismissal of Martín Demichelis marks a period of change and challenges for River Plate. The fans hope that the management can find a suitable replacement to restore the team’s competitiveness and achieve positive results in the Argentine Championship.
