Former soccer player and coach Gustavo Raggio, 52, has been hospitalized since February 5 with a reserved prognosis at the Río Cuarto Medical Institute, as a result of a bilateral respiratory condition that complicated his condition.
The information was known through a publication by Estudiantes de Río Cuarto on their social networks: "Our coach, Mr. Gustavo Raggio, who has been admitted to the Río Cuarto Medical Institute since last February 5, suffers from a bilateral respiratory condition."
In the first 24 hours of hospitalization, the evolution was not as expected and according to the report, Raggio "presented a worsening of his condition, requiring increased respiratory support assistance."

Estudiantes de Río Cuarto, which had hired Raggio in December, published a message asking that "all friends of the club accompany him with their prayers for the improvement in his state of health", accompanying their post with the hashtag #FuerzaGustavo.
On Sunday, February 4, Raggio had directed his first game at Estudiantes de Río Cuarto to a full court.
It was a 1-0 victory against Deprotivo Madryn and Carozo, as he was nicknamed, did not show any health problems.
However, a day later he was admitted to the Río Cuarto Medical Institute for a "bilateral respiratory condition," according to the club.
Raggio, who was born in Villa Constitución and has a long career in promotion football, arrived at the clinic with a condition of "dehydration and pneumonia."
They thought he would be discharged the next day, but the situation became more complicated until he required respiratory assistance.
This Monday a new report signed by the Medical Directorate of the clinic was released: "Mr. Gustavo Raggio is progressing in the intensive care unit, his vital signs are stabilized, he continues with advanced life support, his prognosis remains reserved,"
