The elimination of Independiente from the Copa Argentina caused a new movement on the bench. The 4-0 thrashing against Atlético Tucumán in the round of 16 sealed the fate of Gustavo Quinteros, who is no longer the coach of the Rojo and forced the management to accelerate the search for a replacement.
Among the first names that emerged are Rubén Darío Insúa and Omar De Felippe, two coaches who are currently without a club and who also have a prior connection with Independiente.
Insúa was a player for the Rojo between 1988 and 1990, during which he won a local championship. His last job as a coach was at Barracas Central, where he was from September 2024 to June 2026. There, he managed 74 matches, with a record of 22 wins, 29 draws, and 23 losses. Additionally, he managed to qualify the Guapo for the first time for an international competition by securing a spot in the Copa Sudamericana 2026.
