Atlético Tucumán Veteran's Future in Limbo Due to Management Conflict

In Argentina, in the city of San Miguel de Tucumán, the club Atlético Tucumán is facing a serious internal conflict. The club's management and coaching staff have decided not to include veteran player Guillermo 'Bebe' Acosta and Leandro Díaz in the squad for the next season. This decision stems from a deep conflict between the players and the management, led by Mario Leito. Despite having a valid contract until 2026, Acosta continues to train individually, awaiting a resolution to his situation. The player's agent, Roberto San Juan, publicly denounced a lack of payment and called the club's actions disrespectful to a club icon who has played nearly 400 matches. In response, the club's delegate for employees, Carolina García, refuted the claims of debt, stating that salaries are up to date and calling the accusations 'a total lie'. The future of Acosta remains unknown, with both sides analyzing legal options and potential settlements.
