Racing goes for José Pékerman. That clear. It is the card that the ruling party has to put on the table for the December Elections. After the lists have been officially presented and everyone knows that there will be three options at the polls, everyone begins to play their game. Those movements to try to seduce the fan and convince them that they are the best options. Cristhian Devia (with the support of Víctor Blanco), Diego Milito and Miguel Jiménez are the options. In this case, the ruling party is playing hard and going for a big name for 2025.
It is the dream that the current leadership has. But not as a coach. There is a deeper idea for the former coach of the Argentine National Team and great youth coach. A way to counteract a weak point in recent years and also to try to compete with the Technical Secretariat proposed by Diego Milito. In this case, negotiations began from Avellaneda to try to convince him to become, if he won the Elections, the Sports Director of the club. A much more general function that goes beyond reinforcements and the professional team.
The idea that the ruling party in Racing has with Pékerman is to give him the keys to the club’s football. “Neither manager nor Technical Secretariat, they want him to be Sports Director,” the club assured this portal. And what would be the role of the successful coach and trainer? The idea is that he manages all football from the Ninth to the First. Also, let him intervene in issues and choice of reinforcements and, logically, the coach he believes is relevant. But it is also intended to bring down an idea and a line of play. Have a style from the smallest categories of Inferiores to the professional team. Let everyone play the same way. That’s why it would be something much more comprehensive.
What Pékerman would do if he arrived at Racing
Let him be the guy who makes the leap both in the Lower League and at the professional level. Collaborating with different coordinators in each area and the coach he has chosen for the first team. May the video analysis and scouting that is done be one more link in this entire project that has him as the main head. That is the dream he has in the Academy to raise the bar in the football part in 2025.
The bet in Racing to go for José Pékerman is strong. Because he is a big name despite the fact that he has not been a trainer for a long time and that he has been coaching national teams. At 75 years old, His last experience was in Venezuela where he went into conflict with the federation. Beyond the good he did with the Argentine National Team, both in the senior and youth teams, his work in Colombia also stands out. The idea is that all that knowledge of football and its style of play is the key and the axis of the club. After a year without anyone to take charge of football, after the resignation of Rubén Capria, the idea is for someone of importance to arrive to take the reins.
