Tevez, upon leaving Boca, had not assured his retirement, but he would not return to play for another club in Argentina, and he still did not give any indication of negotiations with any foreign club that could place him in a scenario of continuity as a footballer, with 37 years.
The chosen one, Battaglia
The man who will take over Boca's bank is an old acquaintance in the club: Sebastián Battaglia, the man with the most titles in the history of xeneize.
After a brief tour as DT, the former star of the institution's golden years worked with the youth team and now he has a chance with the first team.

Riquelme and Russo
With Juan Krupoviesa as his assistant, Battaglia replaced Rolando Schiavi in the Reserve. He began his task on January 3, 2020 at the Pedro Pompilio Complex of Casa Amarilla. "Our goal is to accompany the boys at the end of their training, so that they have more and more confidence and that they can settle in First. We are at the disposal of the First for whatever they need. The boys are having training experiences with them and that. it makes them grow ”, explained Battaglia in April of this year.
In the current season, Battaglia not only had to lead the Reserve in the division tournament, but also in the two games in which he had to replace the senior team that was serving seven days of isolation after batahola after the elimination of the Copa Libertadores against Atlético Mineiro in Belo Horizonte.
In those two games, Boca drew 0-0 with Banfield in the South and fell 2-0 against San Lorenzo in La Bombonera.
