Boca Juniors could have won its 22nd Argentine title when they played Belgrano but they lost 1-0. They then lost to Lanus, 2-1. The third time around Ricardo LaVolpe, Boca’s coach vowed that he would quit if they lost to Estudiantes and lo and behold, Estudiantes beat them, 2-1 through goals by Jose Sosa and Mariano Pavano. Estudiantes claimed its fourth title and
LaVolpe resigned after 88 days of coaching, as he was specially brought in with the purpose of winning Boca’s third consecutive title.
Miguel Angel Russo, Velez Sarsfield’s coach was appointed by Mauricio Macri as the new Boca coach. Russo was a former star wing and coach of Estudiantes, the team which prevented Boca’s attempt at winning the Apertura on Wednesday.
