weird ending
The traditional club throws the coach out at the pump
Boca Juniors separated from coach Sebastian Battaglia (41). However, he did not receive the notice in the office, but at a gas station.
Club presidents usually call the head coaches to their offices to notify them of the termination. Boca Juniors, the 34-time champion of Argentina, chose a different and unusual place for this venue: a gas station.
On Wednesday, Buenos Aires were eliminated on penalties by Brazilian representative Corinthians in the Copa Libertadores, the South American Champions League. Reason enough to end cooperation with coach Sebastian Battaglia.
Termination at the pump
While the 41-year-old was still on his way home, those responsible called him to a gas station. Then he was notified of termination at the gas pump. “That’s history now and that’s what happened,” the 10-time Argentina international confirmed the next day.
The former Boca professional player has only been on the sidelines of his heart club since August 2021. Battaglia has completed 202 matches as an active footballer for the club from the Argentine capital. With this he was a seven-time champion and won the Copa Libertadores four times. The Argentine-Italian double also participated in 46 matches with Villarreal between January 2004 and July 2005. (Che)
