At this time, the great anticipation at Boca Juniors involves the attentive wait for the appointment of the team's next head coach, who will officially debut in mid-June at the 2025 Club World Cup.

According to the latest updates from journalists close to the club from La Ribera, the name of the coach has already been chosen, and the coach in question has also said "Yes."

However, the club and the management led by Juan Román Riquelme have decided to keep the negotiations "secret" and not yet reveal the chosen coach.

Miguel Ángel Russo? Gustavo Quinteros?

The flurry of names has been intense and constant since the departure of Fernando Gago was confirmed several weeks ago, after losing in the Superclásico at the Monumental.

Several names have already been ruled out for different reasons, while now the main candidates are two: Gustavo Quinteros and Miguel Ángel Russo.

The latter, currently under contract with San Lorenzo and in the midst of the final stages of the Argentine Apertura tournament with his team in the semifinals, will have to wait for the outcome of this competition to accept a proposal from the Xeneize. This is why there is mainly speculation about his name, hence the secrecy of these negotiations.
