A week of many new developments for River Plate: last Sunday, Martín Demichelis said goodbye to players and fans at the match against Sarmiento. The management decided that he should not continue, so his term at the head of the club ended early.
Immediately, rumours began that Marcelo Gallardo was going to be the replacement, to the delight of all the Millonarios fans. Hours later, the rumour became news: “El Muñeco” will have his second term as River’s coach and will try to emulate (a task that is not easy) the brilliant previous stage that included several Copa Libertadores and local titles.
Before he had even taken office, Gallardo asked the board to do everything possible to bring back a former player from the club, Germán Pezzela, who is currently part of the Betis squad in Spain. And according to journalist Cesar Luis Merlo, the agreement is now complete: River will pay the player’s termination clause valued at a sum close to four million euros.
