Meanwhile, for Russo to be officially presented as the new coach, his departure from San Lorenzo must first be finalized, after the team's elimination in the semifinals of the 2025 Torneo Apertura against Platense.
In this context, Ciclón's president, Julio Lopardo, stated: "I haven't spoken with Miguel yet; we'll surely do so at some point. It will happen. We have to talk, then we'll see".
