Russo Quits Boca Juniors

Important news has emerged from Argentina. The following is from the blog "Hasta el Gol Siempre"

"In the last hour or so, it’s been confirmed that Miguel Angel Russo has parted company with Boca Juniors, leaving the club’s managerial post vacant. Earlier in the day, the Boca board had taken the decision to sack Russo’s two assistants, Marcelo Trobbiani and Guillermo Cinquetti (assistant coach and physical trainer, respectively), as a condition of extending Russo’s contract following the disappointment of losing to Milan in Sunday’s Club World Cup Final."

Russo was the manager on the losing side of Sunday's World Club Cup Final. Boca finishing 4th in the Apertura might've contributed to the decision but it certainly comes as a bit of a shock.
Obviously the final straw for Russo was the fact that two of his associates and partners Trobbiani and Cinquetti were used by Boca in order for Russo to renew his contract.

Interesting times ahead for Boca and Argentine football then. Let's see how this pans out over the next couple of days.

Meanwhile it seems the only club at the moment who are willing to match River's $10m price tag on Fernando Belluschi are Greek giants Olympiacos. Belluschi's agent is now thought to have lied about interest from Porto. Careful consideration must be taken by Belluschi's party in any move as he must ensure he will get regular European football. Not UEFA Cup. He must be playing in the latter stages of the Champions League.
