Boedo and Parque de los Patricios
raise the summer temperature even a little more than what the summer thermometer indicates these days in 2024.
The largest neighborhood classic in the world
began to be played on the microphones with
spicy chicanes
since both presidents , but the truth will be seen on Saturday from 7:30 p.m. on the grass of Tomás Adolfo Ducó.
And for this duel,
Huracán and San Lorenzo
are crossed by very contrasting realities on their benches: the place will be directed by the interim
Walter Coyette
while he looks for a new coach and the visit has in
Ruben Darío Insua
a technician from the house and fully established in office for 20 months and with a recently signed two-year contract.
Huracán is not having a good time after
the goodbye of Diego Martínez
, who interrupted his contract to go manage Boca.
The arrival of
Facundo Sava
did not work as expected and his cycle lasted less than the sigh of an excited fan.
After falling agonizingly 1-0 with Vélez in Liniers last weekend,
Colorado
resigned and left a harvest of 22 percent of points in the six games he led the team in this League Cup.
They beat Banfield 2-0 on the first date and since then Globo could not return to victory:
they have accumulated four defeats and a draw
.
Now, the leadership is fully dedicated to the search for a coach since it needs to resolve the situation as soon as possible.
The first call was to
Ariel Holan
, but the
Professor
was quickly ruled out.

Frank Darío Kudelka
is the one who appears as
plan b
.
Within the Board of Directors, he is one of the names that meets the greatest consensus.
The man from Córdoba already directed Huracán in two previous cycles (2013-14 and 2021-22).
However, everything indicates that Coyette will sit on the bench this Saturday, in charge of the youth divisions at La Quemita.
Could a victory against his lifelong rival give him credit for extending his interim term?
It is not the a priori
idea
of President David Garzón to extend the issue much further, although it is clear that beating Ciclón at home would be like applying a cold cloth to the forehead of a feverish person.
A relief that would calm everything a little to calmly choose Sava's successor.
On the other hand,
San Lorenzo does not have the problems of its neighbor
.
He knew how to have them, of course.
Before Gallego, in Boedo they went from
coach to coach
, without finding the right one.
Until, after ruling out many options, the choice of Insua ended up restoring order at the football level.
The man with the bushy hair blowing in the wind took charge of the team at a difficult time, restored internal peace and gave it a playing identity based on solidity and dedication.
He qualified them for the 2023 Copa Sudamericana, they were competitive at the local level, they stayed in the semifinal of the Argentine Cup and
put them back in the Copa Libertadores, which they will play this year.

Beyond an elusive start to 2024, he managed to rebound last Saturday against Tigre in the Nuevo Gasómetro, just in the week before the classic.
And if we talk about classics, the Galician smiles: he only lost two (with River and Racing) in this second cycle in the Barça team.
He faced Huracán three times, with one victory and two draws.
In their only visit to Ducó they did not lose, although they did not win either
: they tied 1-1 with a great goal from Jalil Elías.
This Saturday will be his second visit to the Palace with the blue and red diver.
A favorable fact for Huracán is that this scenario has been difficult for San Lorenzo in recent years since it has not won since 2017 (1-0 with a goal from Marcos Angeleri).
Parque de los Patricios and Boedo are already warming up for a derby that will confront their presents.
The Globe needs oxygen while looking for DT and the Insua Cyclone wants to ratify its rise and, in the process, further increase the large difference in the history.
