Riquelme's decision on Fernando Gago's future at Boca was made known

After Boca 's elimination on penalties against Alianza Lima in Phase 2 of the Copa Libertadores play-offs, La Bombonera spoke for the first time in Juan Román Riquelme 's cycle as president of the institution and his request was blunt: " Let them all go, let not a single one remain ."

The truth is that the Xeneizes fans were hurt after suffering one of the hardest blows in their history in the top continental competition in South America and no one was spared from criticism, not even their coach, Fernando Gago .

Fernando Gago is the most criticized by Boca fans after the elimination, since the team is not performing and its constant changes are far from showing a solid base to be able to compete.

The coach wants to get revenge for last night's blow and the truth is that he could have it, since he would not be removed from his position. According to the media outlet Bolavip, the first decision of Juan Román Riquelme and the Football Council is not to fire Gago and that he will coach next Friday at La Bombonera, against the leader of Zone B Rosario Central for the 8th date of the Apertura Tournament.

The truth is that if a performance similar to that of the last few matches is repeated, the atmosphere in the stadium could become heated and the coach could say goodbye after 4 months of taking up his post.

Fernando Gago confirmed his desire to stay: “ 100% I feel strong. I think it comes from the side of the footballer and coach to want to get revenge now . The result hurts, it is an uncomfortable situation, but we are going to keep working,” he said in a press conference after the elimination.

“I liked the team today, we had a lot of opportunities in the opponent's half to be able to define the match. We had chances until the last minute. We have to be self-critical, take responsibility and keep working,” said the coach who has managed 22 matches with Boca, where he obtained 11 victories, 6 draws and 5 defeats.
