Boca Names Russo As Manager For Third Time
Russo, 69, replaces Mariano Herron, who was appointed caretaker manager in April after Fernando Gago was dismissed. It will be Russo's third spell in charge of Boca, having guided the club to its sixth Copa Libertadores title during a year-long tenure in 2007 before returning for an 18-month stint in 2020 and 2021.
“We all have to be aligned with one idea and one approach. Commitment is key. Boca deserves to play in it, for its greatness and its people,” Russo stated in his first meeting with the press. "Boca is every day, every minute. That's how it is. It's different from everything else. These aren't bad things; they're welcome on my part. If this didn't make me happy, I wouldn't do it. I'm grateful to the Boca fans because they've always recognised me," he added.
