Juan Román Riquelme continues working to find a successor to Hugo Ibarra. 'Keep throwing out names...' added the Boss Bermúdez.


The Boca

squad

returned to Argentina this Friday morning after its debut with a goalless draw and two expulsions in the Copa Libertadores while waiting for the arrival of the new technical director to materialize, a task that for 10 days has occupied

Juan Román Riquelme

, head of the Football Council and second vice-president of the club, after the dismissal of

Hugo Benjamín Ibarra

.

The plane from Barinas, Venezuela, where the team tied on Thursday night against

Monagas

, landed at the Ezeiza International Airport after 11 a.m. and the delegation, after acceding to the fans' demand, boarded a bus to

Boca Predio

, the club's training center, located a few kilometers away.

In that place, Riquelme has been working for days to resolve the landing of the new coach.

Jorge Almirón, José Néstor Pekerman and the Uruguayan Diego Alonso

are the surnames that circulate unofficially with the greatest force.

Diego Martínez

, DT of Tigre, seems to have decided to continue in the Victoria club.


The secrecy regarding the name of Ibarra's successor is absolute

, but the versions indicate that it would be known in the next few hours and that he could be present on the field on Sunday when Boca faces Colón de Santa Fe with substitutes for the Professional Soccer League (LPF).

The Colombian

Jorge Bermúdez

, a member of the Football Council and member of the delegation that traveled to Venezuela, left a message as he passed the journalistic guard waiting at the Ezeiza air terminal: "Keep throwing out names...", ironized the Patron .

And another Colombian,

Mauricio

Chicho

Serna,

also part of that working group, released: "There is no white smoke yet

.

"

As if it were the election of a new Pope...

Riquelme's intention is for the new DT to take over in the coming days.

It is a hectic week for Boca, since in the span of six days it has to receive Colón on Sunday, visit San Lorenzo at the Nuevo Gasómetro on Wednesday and host Estudiantes, the following Saturday, again at the Bombonera .

At the moment, the squad is under the orders of interim coach

Mariano Herrón

, who won a victory over Barracas Central in the Professional League and the tie on Thursday for the Libertadores.

The DT from the Reserve will once again be on the substitute bench against Colón, a rival against whom a rotation will be appealed due to the series of matches between the local and international arena.
