Capria denied open negotiations with Mascherano, Medina and Heinze

The sports director of Racing Club, Rubén Capria, clarified that the interim Claudio Ubeda is “today the coach” of the team and that the “day to day” will be analyzed to decide if there will be a future contract replacing the outgoing Juan Antonio Pizzi.

Capria denied the existence of open negotiations with other coaches, despite rumors about Javier Mascherano, Alexander Medina and Gabriel Heinze, with the intention not to underestimate who took the reins from the campus together with Carlos “Chiche” Arano, another historical member of the club.

Ubeda -51-year-old champion as a Racing player in the 2001 Apertura, a title that ended a 35-year drought- will be in front next Sunday against Newell’s Old Boys in Avellaneda, by the sixth date of the Professional Football League (LPF).

“Today the DT is Claudio and we are not going to underestimate him. You have to see how the team responds now and make a well-argued decision, with a cool head, being analytical, “explained the Wizard Capria in dialogue with TyC Sports, adding:”He is a technician capable of directing, we will see how it works day by day and we will act accordingly. “

The Racing manager trusted that the former defender can meet expectations and stay in charge, since it has “a competitive squad, which in January had eight incorporations, and recently added (Javier) Correa and ‘Licha’ (Lisandro López)”.

The Magician and the rumors

Faced with it, Capria put a brake on all the versions about the succession: “Mascherano spoke with Víctor López because they coincided this week at AFA. They sat next to each other, they talked, but it wasn’t formal at all. “

“Medina is the workshop technician and, beyond taste, you have to be careful because you are working in a club. I don’t know HeinzeI know that he is a coach who has a profile linked to the idea of ​​(Marcelo) Bielsa, of an intense football with initiative, nothing more. Talking about proper names today does not make much sense, “he reviewed.

Finally, Capria recognized the status of “lord” of Pizzi, whom he elected at the beginning of the year when he started his tenure as sports director. “The decision had to be made to interrupt the project, which was not at all nice”he admitted.

“The team started its cycle with a very strong pineapple, which was the defeat against River in the Argentine Super Cup (0-5), something very difficult to manage. Then it came to important instances of the championship, nothing less than the final (0-3 against Colón) “, remembered.

“We can discuss the ways. You always want to be the champion of everything you play, but there are defeats that weaken the processes. In my work I always tried to support Juan, but the sporting issue has matured “, concluded Capria.
