President of the Uruguayan Football Association traveled to Argentina to convince Marcelo Gallardo

They are determined that Marcelo Gallardo should be the replacement for Óscar Washington Tabárez. Therefore, according to information advanced by the Argentine media ‘Olé’, the president of the Uruguayan Federation, Ignacio Alonso, plans to travel to Argentina this Thursday, November 25 to have a meeting with the current River Plate coach.

Already the aforementioned media had advanced that the Uruguayan boss and the representative of the ‘Muñeco’ Juan Berros had virtually met last Sunday and the expectations in the ‘charrúas’ grew.

“We are very interested in Gallardo. We think he is an extraordinary coach who has had a fantastic process at River. Your workgroup is attractive to any team in the world. We look at it carefully and we may have a crossroads“Alonso said in statements to the Uruguayan media.

To finish convincing Gallardo, the AUF has promised Berros that his client would be one of the best paid on the continent. If you think of a link extension, it would consist of four more years. That is, until the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada.

But while the Uruguayans are filled with a minimum of hope, in River Plate they are clear: they will not let Gallardo go. Despite the fact that the coach has not yet renewed his contract, the same one that culminates with the end of the Professional League, the ‘Millionaire’ club has already started its plan to retain him.

“Brito is doing everything so that Gallardo continues in River, we do not have plan B”Rodolfo D’Onofrio stressed yesterday. The highest candidate to win the December 4 elections projected 2022 with the Doll. In fact, they even laid out the preseason in Miami.

Always according to the aforementioned source, in the AUF they dream of the arrival of the ‘Doll’. However, signing him at the peak of the ‘Celeste’ in recent years could represent a problem for all parties. It is for this reason that Diego Aguirre’s CV is still on the table.

To this day, the current Porto Alegre International coach is within reach for the Uruguayans, but the priority is the most winning coach in the history of River Plate, who has not made a decision about his future in the Monumental of Núñez.
