As a coach, he has only led 2 teams: Lanús from Argentina and Palermo from Italy.
Guillermo Barros Schelotto will be officially announced in the next few hours as the new coach of Boca Juniors, replacing Rodolfo Arruabarrena, who was dismissed after losing in the Argentine Tournament against Racing.
Curiously, the 'Mellizo' will make his debut on Thursday with the Boca Juniors jersey against Racing, but this time in the Copa Libertadores. But the difficult start doesn't end with the 'Academia', but the weekend will have to face the 'Superclasico' against River Plate at the Bombonera.
The hiring of the Barros Schelotto brothers was defined after a meeting with Boca Juniors' president, Daniel Angelici. One of the key points discussed was to what extent forward Carlos Tevez will have an impact on the club's decisions.
The contract that will link Guillermo Barros Schelotto with Boca Juniors will be for one and a half years. As a player, the 'Mellizo' won four Copa Libertadores titles (2000, 2001, 2003, and 2007) with the 'xeneizes'.
