The scenario could not be more bleak for
Independiente
.
He was left without a president and, consequently, without a new coach in a matter of hours.
Pablo Repetto
, who had said yes to
Fabián Doman
last week, got out of the word agreement and finally will not direct the Avellaneda team, which will visit Rosario Central tomorrow and on Sunday will receive Racing again with
Pedro Damián Monzón
as interim .
The arrival of the 49-year-old Uruguayan was a fact.
In a meeting that took place at Doman's own house,
Repetto had accepted the commitment to take over at Red
, but after the match with Racing since due to a matter of logistics (he lives in Ecuador) he did not arrive on time to settle in Argentina this week.
This Monday they were going to begin to exchange the contracts between the DT and the leadership of the Devil.
But Doman's letter announcing his premature farewell to the presidency turned everything upside down.
Repetto, who had planned to arrive in the country next Monday to be officially presented on Tuesday and debut at the Monumental against River, contacted the sports director,
Pablo Cavallero
, to tell him that under these conditions he was not going to accept the position.
His argument is logical: within 90 days the Assembly must elect a member of the Board of Directors to replace Doman and until it is known who will occupy the highest position, Repetto considers that he cannot
start to
work
For that, he thanked and got off.

The question is more than delicate.
The team does not find the football course and sinks to the bottom of the table (it is two points from last place).
Monzón tries, but fails to straighten the course or order a team that is discouraged and without a clear idea of the game.
Without Doman, Néstor Grindetti remains provisionally as president until the Assembly is held.
He, along with the rest of the leadership, will now have to decide who to bring in as a coach.
"There are no candidates"
, warn from Avellaneda.
For now, there is no plan b in the face of Repetto's refusal.
And the handful of names that circulated before the agreement with the Uruguayan quickly returned to the table: Jorge Burruchaga, Luis Islas, Sebastián Méndez, Pablo Lavallén, Walter Erviti, among others.
None is entirely convincing.
For now, Moncho Monzón will continue wearing his firefighter's suit to try to put out a fire that is getting bigger and bigger.
