Boca Juniors fires coach Fernando Gago after loss to rival River Plate

Boca Juniors fired head coach Fernando Gago on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, days after losing 2-1 to River Plate in Buenos Aires.
The decision followed mounting pressure after early elimination from the Copa Libertadores and the recent defeat in the Argentine Superclásico.
Gago, a 39-year-old former Real Madrid player and Boca Juniors alumnus, coached 30 games since his October 2024 appointment, winning 17 with five draws and eight losses.
Mauricio Serna, a member of Boca's Football Council, announced that the club has concluded Fernando Gago will no longer continue as coach, acknowledging how challenging this judgment was given Gago's strong ties to the team.
The club must quickly find a replacement to prepare for the Club World Cup in the United States scheduled for June 2025.
