The ‘Apache’ flirted until recently with continuing his active career as a footballer
He signs for one season and Carlos “el Chapa” Retegui will be a member of his coaching staff
Former striker Carlos Tevez, who played for the Argentine national team, Boca Juniors, Manchester United and Juventus, among others, will make his debut as coach at Rosario Central, which on Tuesday announced his arrival as technical director.
“Carlos Tevez is the DT of Rosario Central! Apache became the new auriazul coach, after signing a contract with the club for 12 months. Carlos “el Chapa” Retegui, will be a member of his coaching staff,” reported the Rosario team through social networks.
Retegui is an Olympic multi-medallist hockey coach, with both the women’s and men’s national teamswith which he won the gold medal in Rio de Janeiro 2016.
Tevez witnessed with Retegui this Monday the defeat of his new team against Vélez Sarsfield by 2-0 from the stadium.
This will be the first experience as technical director of the ‘Apache’, who stopped playing in Boca Juniors in June 2021 and after a year of uncertainty, he confirmed a few weeks ago his final retirement and his desire to become a coach.
Rosario Central is twenty-second out of 28 teams in the Argentine League with four points out of a possible 12 and is in the round of 32 of the Argentine Cup.
Tevez’s first match as coach will be this Friday at home against Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata on matchday five of the local league.
