Diego Martínez’s stick to the Boca Football Council :: Olé

It was a little over a month ago Diego Martinez submitted his resignation as coach of Bocaafter the defeat against Belgrano in Córdoba. In the same locker room of the Alberdi neighborhood stadium, where Juan Román Riquelme was waiting for him a few minutes before the end of the game, the Gigoló anticipated it, slammed the door and then announced it at a conference. Now, a little colder, recognized some short circuit.

“I have nice feelings, I have people who stop me on the street and value us for Boca,” Martínez said in a preview of an interview with Clank Media that will be published next Monday. And then, when faced with a question about the relationship with the Football Council, he threw out a stick that will be expanded when the note is complete: “We have chatted, but perhaps not in the way I was used to.”

Martínez took over at Boca at the beginning of the year. In his cycle that lasted nine months, he reached the semifinals of the League Cup, was eliminated in the round of 16 of the Sudamericana, advanced to the quarterfinals of the Argentine Cup and did not do well in the current Professional League. In total they were 45 games with 20 wins, 15 draws and 10 losses.
