Carlos Tevez signed a one-year contract with Rosario Central and directed his first practice as the new technical director in the property that the club has in the Santa Fe town of Arroyo Seco. The assistant coach Carlos Retegui did not participate in it, who was accompanying Tevez on Monday night at the Vélez stadium, but has not yet been able to disassociate himself from his position as Secretary of Sports of the autonomous city of Buenos Aires.
Tevez arrived early in the morning at the Arroyo Seco complex, accompanied by his coaching staff that make up the physical trainer Martín Traversi, and his brothers Miguel, Diego and Adrián Tevez. On behalf of the club, they welcomed him, the first vice president Ricardo Carloni (great promoter of his arrival at the institution), the second vice president Mariano Facciano, the general secretary Guillermo Hanono and the sports director Raúl Gordillo, who took him on a tour of the venue’s facilities.
After the walk through the auxiliary fields, the locker room, the gym and the training camp, Tevez was introduced to the squad with whom he shared a light lunch and After 3:30 p.m., he went to one of the fields to conduct his first training ahead of next Friday’s game at 7:00 p.m. against Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata at the Gigante de Arroyito. At Tevez’s request, the squad would be concentrated in Arroyo Seco for that game starting this Wednesday. After that match, Central will play again on Tuesday against Quilmes for the 16th final of the Argentine Cup at the Belgrano stadium in Córdoba
The absence of Retegui caused concern in some Rosario leaders, but from the environment of the former coach of the men’s and women’s field hockey teams they maintained that He had to close some pending political and administrative issues before resigning from the Sports Secretariat of CABA and being able to work at Central. It is estimated that Retegui will be in Rosario on Friday for Tevez’s debut and that from next week he will work normally alongside the former Boca player and the Argentine National Team.
Asked about the possible arrival of goalkeeper Marcos Díaz as the first reinforcement of the new cycle, the Central leadership revealed that “Tevez doesn’t want us to talk about the reinforcements until they arrive”. As it was known, Díaz would terminate his contract with Huracán in the next few hours to be the first incorporation and in a one-on-one talk, Tevez would have asked Juan Román Riquelme, the president of the Boca Football Subcommittee, for the loans of the defenders Marcelo Weigandt and Ezequiel Avila and Colombian midfielder Jorman Campuzano. Riquelme remained to answer.
The arrival that is confirmed is that of Colombian midfielder José Leudo, last step for Patriotas de Boyacá, who has been in the city for days, but has not yet signed a contract with the club.
