Xeneize is not having a great football moment, so the management decided to terminate Ibarra’s contract.
The cycle of Hugo Ibarra It ended. At the beginning of the season, the team never managed to show its best football, nor did it count on good results. Last year’s trophies were an ever-thinning mattress that couldn’t stop the knockout punch.
And though the xeneize leadership has not officially moved in search of a replacement, the rumors say that it would most likely not be a former footballer of the club. They want to change the dynamic, find someone experienced in the discipline of the bank.
That’s why inside GOAL We show you the Xeneinze options:

Although there was no official contact at this time, It is estimated that he is the coach who has the Boquense leadership in his sights. The idea was not to call him until Ibarra leaves office, but Tata could be what Boca is currently looking for: a resounding change. Far from the kidney coaches who dominated the past decade and closer to a strategist with a long history in the football world.
After being eliminated in the group stage in Qatar 2022, Martino left his office in Mexico. He had previously been with Atlanta United where he was an MLS champion. His resume has been banked for more than two decades, with eight titles.
MARIANO HERRON
With Negro’s departure, Mauricio Serna clarified who the interim replacement would be: “Reserve coaching staff will take over Primera, hopefully for a few days. We are in the process of bringing in a new coach”.
Herrón comes from champion of the last two reserve tournaments and has a great relationship with Juan roman riquelme. In the recent past, he also assisted Miguel Ángel Russo and Sebastián Battaglia in Boca. With them he won the 2019 Argentine Super League, the 2019-2020 Argentine Cup, the 2020 and 2022 Professional League Cup.
JOSES PEKERMAN
If the negotiations with Martino do not lead to a result, another alternative of the experienced archetype would be Pekerman. At the age of 73, he is still active, as he recently retired from the Venezuelan national team for personal reasons.
At club level, he has not directed since May 2009, when he spent ten games in Tigres. Then he had his successful cycle in Colombia and later the short period in Venezuela.
Oddly enough, in Argentina he has never trained in the highest category. He was only in the youth teams of Chacarita and Argentinos between 1981 and 1992.

He hasn’t been here for almost ten years, but… Martinez has been a man of the club. Until 2015, he coached Boca’s youth teams and had several players who are in or close to the first team today: Equi Fernández, Agustín Sández, Valentín Barco, Vicente Taborda, Gabriel Vega, Marcelo Weigandt, Aaron Molinas, among others.
As a coach he went through all categories of Argentine football and in Tiger found its place in the world. Not only did he promote him, but it also took him to the 2022 League Cup Final and also qualified him for the Copa Sudamericana. He also created a distinct style and identity and nurtured many young people, perhaps the most brilliant case being that of Mateo Retegui.
