Racing coach Gustavo Costas has renewed his contract with 'La Academia' until December 2028, extending his deal for another three years. This means Costas will be able to lead the team for five consecutive years. Despite the frustrations the team suffered in the second half of 2025, when they were eliminated from the Copa Argentina and Copa Libertadores, Racing's leadership will bet on the continuity of the 62-year-old coach, more than 10 days after losing the Apertura final to Estudiantes in Santiago del Estero. 'I am very happy to be staying in the place where I want to be. Since we arrived, we have been at the level that the greatness of Racing demands. This jersey asks for it,' Costas stated after the renewal. In turn, Milito said: 'We are reaffirming a path that has given Racing evident growth. The objective is the same as always and that of all of us at Racing: to put the team at the top.' The coach began his third cycle at 'La Academia' on December 18, 2023, and since then has directed 111 matches, winning 62, drawing 17, losing 32, and conquering two titles: the Copa Sudamericana 2024 and the Recopa Sudamericana 2025. 'But we will never be content because we always have to aim for the maximum. And the year that is about to begin will be no different, of course.'
