Uruguayan Football Association and “direct contact” with the Gallardo representative

River Plate took another step toward the long-awaited Argentine league title on Sunday by beating Platense 1-0. Although the ‘Millionaire’ coach, Marcelo Gallardo, has focused his attention on that goal, his name continues to sound like a possible replacement for ‘Maestro’ Tabárez.

In fact, the Uruguayan Football Association is already working to tempt that possibility, according to information from journalist Diego Jokas. “Attention! Yesterday there was a direct contact between Ignacio Alonso and Juan Berros who is the one who represents Gallardo”He wrote on Twitter.

The River Plate strategist’s position is clear and has been expressed every time he was asked about his future in Núñez: he will not make any decisions as long as his goal is to win the local tournament.

This decision, by the AUF, is so firm that they would be willing to postpone any plan B until they have a definitive answer from the ‘Doll’. Now, with the crowning of the ‘Millionaire’ team very close, they would wait a little longer to seduce Gallardo and then accept the challenge.

On the other hand, after the victory against Platense on date 21 of the Professional League, the ‘Doll’ was asked at a press conference about the interest on the part of the AUF to offer him the position of coach. Given this, in a curt tone, the technician was clear and did not even let them finish the question: “I’m not going to make any kind of comment.”
