The situation in Boca has generated great expectation and concern among fans due to recent movements in the coaching staff. Fernando Gagoformer player of the club and current coach of Chivas de Guadalajara, is about to take over as technical director of Boca.
However, his arrival will not be as many expected, since Federico “Pocho” Insúa, his usual field assistant, will not accompany him in this new stage. In his place, Mariano Herrón, who has already had experiences as an interim coach in Boca, could join the work team of Fernando Gago.
Federico Insúa, known as “Pocho”, has been a close collaborator of Gago since his first experiences as a coach. Both shared a squad in Boca during the 2005 to 2006 season and in Vélez Sarsfield.
Their professional relationship began at Aldosivi in Mar del Plata and continued at Racing Club before arriving at Chivas de Guadalajara. However, the relationship between Gago and Insúa has suffered significant wear and tear, which has led to the decision not to continue together in Boca.
One of the factors that has influenced this separation is a lawsuit that Insúa won against Boca Juniors. In 2022, Justice ruled in favor of Insúa in a lawsuit for a debt of 130 thousand dollars, corresponding to 15% of his transfer from Borussia Monchengladbach to América de México in 2006.
This ruling was not well received by the Boca leadership, especially by Juan Román Riquelme, vice president of the club. Mariano Herrón, former player and current interim coach of Boca, is emerging as the main candidate to join Gago’s coaching staff.
Interim
Herrón arrived at Boca in December 2019 at the hands of Miguel Ángel Russo and has had several opportunities to lead the team on an interim basis. His knowledge of the club and his relationship with the players make him a logical choice to accompany Fernando Gago in this new stage.
Herrón has already begun to prepare the team for their next match against Argentinos Juniors, using a 4-4-2 tactical scheme. In recent training sessions, Edinson Cavani has not been part of the starting team, which has generated speculation about his possible inclusion in the substitutes’ bench.
