The news moves the Racing world.
After leaving Gabriel Heinze's Atlanta United to be close to his mother and family, the Academy idol got together with the Wizard Capria and decided to return to the Academy, his second home.
Five months ago, the last idol of the Academy had decided to change his life and extend his sports career in an increasingly competitive league such as MLS, although with different pressures than those of Racing and Argentine football.
But Gabriel Heinze's arrival at Atlanta United Football Club did not go as Licha would have hoped.
A few months after settling with his wife Mechi and their little daughter Guadalupe in the United States,
Lisandro received the sad news of the death of her father, Miguel Angel López
.
Licha had a very affectionate relationship with her father, from him she inherited her passion for football and also some of her talent:
Miguel was a striker and scorer in his native Rafael Obligado
, as would later be Lisandro.
The great relationship between father and son moved to Mercedes (who, in addition to being married to Licha, is Víctor Blanco's daughter), who was always very affectionate with her father-in-law.
Miguel Angel López with his daughter-in-law Mechi Blanco, Lisandro's wife and daughter of the president of Racing.
After relocating to the country, Lisandro began to think about his future.
Then he decided that he did not want to abandon the activity: "Racing's doors are open for him," they said from the leadership.
And Juan Antonio Pizzi agreed to recover the last academic standard, so the only thing missing was the talk with the manager, Capria, where Licha accepted the invitation to return to the club.
It will be the third cycle of the player in the blue and white part of Avellaneda.
The contract would be for one year with an option to terminate after six months.
Lisandro He had returned to Argentina after a long journey abroad.
He made his Racing debut in June 2003
where he played for two years and
scored 26 goals
until he was sold to Porto de Portugal.
In his first European experience he won four leagues
, including a three-time championship. Later, he went to Olympique de Lyon for 28 million euros. In France he played four seasons but, when Racing fans dreamed of his return, he traveled to football in Qatar where he played 40 games. Last stop before returning: one year in Brazil, at Inter in Porto Alegre.
His return to Racing took place in 2016 (it was announced on December 15) and
Rafael Obligado's prodigal son gave himself the pleasure of being champion
in the club that saw him born.
It was hand in hand with Chacho Coudet in the 18/19 Super League.
He also won a Super League Cup against Tigre at the Mar del Plata World Cup Stadium.
In January of this year, López announced that he had given everything and would no longer be at the Academy.
I wanted to lead another life in the United States.
But things did not turn out as I would have dreamed.
And now he would be thinking of returning to the country.
For this reason, he is now on his third cycle at the club.
Surely, from another role, but with the same influence as always.
