Pedro Troglio is one of the references in the history of Gimnasia de La Plata. The former coach of Universitario could not stay on the sidelines of the appointment of Diego Maradona as the coach of the 'Lobos' and gave his opinion on the matter.
"Hopefully Diego can bring Gimnasia forward and leave it in the First Division. The people will support him because they love the club and they love Diego. It's the perfect combination. At this moment, the team needed someone from another planet," declared the Argentine coach.
His time at Universitario gave him the opportunity to return to manage Gimnasia de La Plata, although fate ended up taking him to the football of Honduras, where he is now in charge of Olimpia.
