The former DT of the Argentine National Team was part of the tribute to Maxi Rodríguez and in the preview he referred to his current status as a coach.
A few hours before Maxi Rodríguez’s tribute match, the presence of Gerardo Martino aroused the first of the ovations at the Coloso Marcelo Bielsa. Tata was the coach of Mexico in the last World Cup and after his departure, Boca offered him the technical leadership after the departure of Hugo Ibarra. However, the also former technical director of the Argentine team declined.
“I thought about it. I didn’t have all the time in the world and the guys were clear,” Martino explained. The boys are the vice of Boca Juan Román Riquelme and the members of the football council, Mauricio Serna and Jorge Bermúdez.
“I spoke with Román at the beginning and with Chico and Jorge, later. I try to decide according to what I believe and I am convinced, to see if I am up to the task of such a situation, such a job offer: Boca is a world that sometimes He is a bit convulsed and this year is a bit complex”, Martino graphed, referring to the elections that the club will hold.
“I came from four intense years in Mexico and I needed to be sure that I was going to be one hundred percent and it didn’t seem to me that I was and that’s why I decided to reject the proposal,” he finished explaining his refusal to Boca.
But if there is something left over for Martino, it is the offers. Currently they are looking for him from Inter Miami to lead the cycle that will have none other than Lionel Messi in the team. Tata was already manager of La Pulga in the national team and in Barcelona.
“We keep talking,” he acknowledged when asked about the chance to return to MLS, a league he knows since he was in charge of Atlanta United in the 2017 season. Without referring to the American team, Martino trusted that he will be “very happy with what will come” in his career.
