Will the 'Tigre' continue with Peru?
Boca Juniors surprised its fans and called a press conference to announce its new coach. While Argentine media nominated Ricardo Gareca, Sebastian Beccacece, and Martin Palermo as candidates, the xeneize team communicated that former footballer Hugo Ibarra will be the replacement for the dismissed Sebastian Battaglia.
The president of the institution, Jorge Amor Ameal, was in charge of revealing the news. "We will officially present the coaching staff that will be in effect from now until December 31. That is, we will not be talking about coaches or players. We are very happy to welcome Hugo Ibarra, Tito Pompei, and Leandro Gracian," he said.
After the elimination from the Copa Libertadores, fans questioned Juan Roman Riquelme's role in the board. The historic former footballer is in charge of the Football Council and has been involved in several controversies due to his sporting decisions. In this regard, the leader showed his support after the recent defeat against San Lorenzo in the Superliga.

"We support our Football Council; Roman is surely watching us. We are very happy. Surely we have already achieved many things and we are committed to more. Unfortunately, merit is not enough. We deserved the last two matches, and these last two as well. Today we come to talk about this," Amor emphasized.
In this way, the possibility of the 'Tigre' joining the Peruvians Luis Advincula and Carlos Zambrano in the blue and gold squad was practically ruled out. Amidst the expectations about his future, it is expected that in the next few days he will meet with Agustin Lozano in Buenos Aires and provide a definitive answer.
