Rubén Capria, Racing manager, analyzed the turbulent moment of the club that led to Fernando Gago's departure and defended his "silent management." According to the executive, "a sandstorm was generated," "there is a breeding ground looking for someone to blame," and "the visible faces" paid for it.
To dispel doubts, in an interview with TyC Sports, the Wizard emphasized: "I did not think about resigning, I have a contract until next year, but I also understand that I am constantly being evaluated." As the fans insulted him at El Cilindro, the Wizard admitted: "I have no problem with criticism, when one is in this role, they know that they are being evaluated all the time, but I don't like low blows because they are unnecessary."
About Gago's departure, Capria began by explaining: "It is never pleasant for these things to happen, having two years of management with a coach is very rare in the context of Argentine football. The players were identified with his idea, but one knows that these things happen, cycles open and close."
And he added: "No one wants things to go wrong, we all do the impossible for everything to go perfectly. A difficult sandstorm was generated and the outcome was the departure of the coach, there is a breeding ground looking for someone to blame and it fell on me, as always happens with the visible faces of management."
Regarding the possible successor to Pintita, Capria said: "I will not give specific names because there is a range of coaches and one has to be prudent. I always looked for a coach with a style similar to the team's, but we have not made any decisions regarding the coach. The players are happy with Grazzini and Videla."
About his term at Racing, Capria clarified: "My task is not limited to the transfer market, I have to be there to support the players and coaching staff in everything they need and be close to them. There are many aspects that I handle, I cannot explain everything I do."
And he emphasized: "I do things based on quality, not quantity, but I cannot be informed of what I do at every moment. In part, it is silent management, we work hard on the players we bring in every sense, but I cannot go around with a speaker announcing who I spoke to before signing a player."
