Boca Juniors has assigned Fernando Gago as their new coach and the former Argentina international returns to the team where he made his senior debut in 2004. The 38-year-old replaces Diego Martínez, who resigned last month after three successive defeats in Argentina’s top flight . “Gago signed a contract with Boca and is the new coach of Xeneize. Welcome home, Fernando,” Boca wrote in X.
The former defensive midfielder spent time at Real Madrid, Roma and Valencia before returning to Argentine football in 2013 to play again for Boca. He finished his playing career with Vélez Sarsfield. As a coach, he led Racing Club to the Argentine Champions Trophy and International Super Cup after his time at Aldosivi in Mar del Plata.
Gago, who took over the reins of Chivas in December, said on Thursday that he would be leaving the Mexican club. In his presentation, he clarified that “the non-negotiable thing is to run and play.” “My idea is to lower the conceptual as soon as possible. Be a leading team, that has a lot of offensive weight. Have the ball, have that intensity.”
