Diego Latorre expressed his intention to help Ferro amid its crisis.

The former player, identified with Verdolaga, expressed concern about the club's difficult current situation, which is suffering from both sporting and institutional problems

Diego Latorre, former forward for Boca and current commentator, surprised the public by revealing his desire to become involved in the institutional and sporting life ofFerro Carril Oeste, a historic club currently experiencing one of the worst crises in its history. The team has gone ten matches without a win, recently lost to Arsenal, and is just two points away from the relegation zone in Primera Nacional.

His connection to the Caballito institution is both familial and sentimental: his affection for Ferro comes from his father, which led him to closely follow the current situation of the Verde. "Ferro is in decline. I feel very bad. I'm about to start promoting myself to solve some issue," he confessed on ESPN F90.

Latorre clarified that he isn't seeking the position of coach and isn't sure about taking on the role of manager either, but he emphasized that his intention is to  collaborate "from whatever position" to contribute to the club's recovery. "Ferro's reality hurts me deeply, and I would do whatever is within my reach to help," he stressed.

He also expressed his outrage at how long the team has been out of the elite of Argentine soccer: "I can't believe that any team is in Primera División and Ferro has been out for over twenty years. A club that has always been exemplary, with noble, capable, decent leaders... It truly hurts me, it's not that I want to run for a position," he concluded.

What's next for Ferro?

Amid its sporting and institutional crisis, Verdolaga will seek its first victory in almost three months against the recently promoted Colegiales at home. The match will be played on Friday, August 15 starting at 21:10.
