Gallardo, who previously secured 14 titles during his initial tenure at River, including the prestigious Copa Libertadores in 2015 and 2018, returned to the club with a clear focus on achieving success in the competition.
During his presentation at River's Monumental stadium, Gallardo emphasized the significance of the Libertadores title, highlighting the ambition and determination within the team to compete at the highest level and ultimately clinch the coveted trophy. The coach's past victories over arch-rivals Boca Juniors in key competitions have left a lasting impact on Argentine football and the historic rivalry between the two clubs.
Gallardo's emotional return to River Plate was marked by a sense of belonging and anticipation for the future, as he outlined his vision for the team's upcoming challenges. Following the departure of Martin Demichelis, Gallardo acknowledged the need for swift action and a clear strategy to address the team's recent performance issues.
As River prepares to face Huracan in the Argentine league under Gallardo's leadership, there is a renewed sense of optimism and determination within the club. The coach's track record of success and his commitment to pursuing excellence in the Copa Libertadores have reignited hopes of further glory for River Plate.
