According to media information such as the newspaper Olé, the Boca Juniors board, led by Juan Román Riquelme, has decided to end the cycle of Fernando Gago, former Real Madrid player.
Despite the arrival of reinforcements, Boca Juniors failed to improve their level of play under Gago's management. The team initially bet on him as a solution to their tactical and performance issues, but stability never came. The elimination in the Copa Libertadores at the hands of Alianza Lima, which beat the Argentine team in penalties, was the breaking point. The criticism from fans was harsh, and despite hopes for recovery, results did not arrive. The lack of decisiveness in key matches and the inability to impose an effective playing style were decisive in the board's decision.
According to sources close to the club, Gago has already been informed of his dismissal. His last match as Boca Juniors coach is set to be this Saturday against Rosario Central at the Bombonera. The team is currently in fourth place in Group A of the Argentine league with only 14 points, which reinforces the feeling of failure within the institution.
Fernando Gago's tenure as Boca Juniors' head coach seems to be coming to an end after a series of unsatisfactory results for both the fans and the board. The decision to dismiss him was shaped as criticisms grew, especially after the recent elimination in the Copa Libertadores. Despite his legacy as a player, his time on the Boca bench will be remembered more for failures than successes.
