The departure of Fernando Gago from Boca Juniors marked another change in Argentine soccer. With just six matches played in the Apertura Tournament, several coaches have already left their positions.

After the tough loss to Alianza Lima in phase 2 of the Copa Libertadores, Boca decided to interrupt Fernando Gago's cycle. The elimination by penalties was the final trigger for the management led by Juan Román Riquelme.

The coach took over in October 2024 with the mission of qualifying for the Libertadores and competing in the Copa Argentina. However, in 22 matches he only achieved 11 wins, 6 draws, and 5 losses, with an effectiveness of 59%.

Boca will also have to solve the termination of the coach's contract, which was valid until December 2026, and decide who will be his replacement.
