Boca Juniors is racing against the clock to hire a new coach ahead of their participation in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

After the tough elimination against Independiente in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Torneo Apertura of the Liga Profesional de Fútbol (LPF), the Boca Juniors squad has entered a week-long break to calm the waters amidst a football crisis that seems to have no end.

According to ESPN Argentina journalist Augusto César, the 'Xeneize' players will return to work next Tuesday, May 27, to prepare for their upcoming commitments.

Juan Román Riquelme and the Football Council are working against the clock to close the hiring of a new coach. They want someone with "experience" and a high profile.

"Given the timing, Gustavo Quintero, who is currently free in Europe, is waiting for Boca to define his future. I don't rule out Miguel Ángel Russo, who has a decisive match this weekend with San Lorenzo. They are not convinced that Gerardo Martino wants to coach. And 'Turco' Mohamed, who is currently employed, has lost ground in consideration," Augusto César reported.

Mariano Herrón, who replaced Fernando Gago, is in charge of the squad with the match against Atlético Tucumán in the Copa Argentina on the horizon. However, the big date will be the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States.

"Boca Juniors needs a storm pilot today," said the ESPN journalist in his report. Riquelme's idea is to close the deal with the chosen coach this week so that he can lead the first practice next Tuesday, less than a month before the international competition.
