On Sunday night, Hernán Crespo announced that he was leaving Defensa y Justicia, the club that led to the conquest of the Copa Sudamericana.
The former goalscorer of the Argentina National Team announced that he spoke to fans of Halcón de Varela through his social networks.
"I want through these words and hereby to communicate that I say goodbye together with my Defense and Justice Technical Corps, grateful for having received us with respect, affection and confidence in our work," said the scorer in a post on his Instagram account, Valdanito started
After winning the Copa Sudamericana with Defensa y Justicia, Valdanito started playing in various clubs.
The first interested party was Independiente
de Avellaneda who decided not to wait for the completion of the continental contest and ended up hiring Julio Falcioni.
A few days later, he
appeared as one of the candidates to lead the Chilean National Team
but the situation did not prosper.
And in the last hours the name of Crespo
appeared as a candidate to direct the São Paulo of Brazil
.
And this time it sounded so loud that the former River ended up slamming the door, although he decided not to confirm the information that places him in Dani Alves' team.

Despite having won the first international title with the Halcón de Varela, the relationship between Crespo and José Lemme, the president of Defense and Justice, never became a romance.
So much so that within hours of having been champion, the boss was interviewed by Juan Carlos Pasman on Radio La Red and placed Crespo below other technicians such as Diego Cocca and Sebastián Beccacece.
Not even played for the renewal of his contract.
You can see that Varela expected the departure of Crespo.
The former goalscorer of River, Milan and the Argentine National Team would already have his contract arranged to replace the former coach of San Pablo, Fernando Diniz, and the only thing left to do was close his departure from Defense and Justice.
Although after listening to the president, in Varela they would not do much to retain him.
