Marcelo Gallardo He said goodbye to his position as coach of the River Plate and in statements to the press he assured that “you leave, but you never leave,” after the ‘Millonario’ triumph over Banfield 3-1 in front of a packed Monumental stadium that expressed its affection for him. “To River, tell him that tomorrow maybe I’ll be looking for my son at school, since he’s coming here, so I’m not going to say goodbye. Those are the things that this magical place has, right? That you leave, but you never leave,” said ‘El Muñeco’ Gallardo in a press conference in which he did not accept questions from the media and was accompanied by his family.
Visibly moved, he added: “I’m going to be very aware of what happens in this club during the time I’m away.” In his thanks, he prioritized the fans of the red band club “for one more night of unconditional love” and assured that “repaying all that affection is sometimes very difficult.” Lastly, he thanked the team of players he had been in charge of since the beginning of his second cycle in 2024. He wished the River Plate board “with all his heart” that he can recover and get back on his feet,” in the midst of a football crisis that triggered his resignation, announced on Monday the 23rd.
