Newell's Old Boys, a prominent team in Argentine football, has parted ways with their coaching team of Favio Orsi and Sergio Gómez following a disheartening 3-0 defeat to Banfield during the sixth match day of the Apertura tournament. This loss not only marks a significant setback for the team but also highlights the ongoing struggles that have plagued the club for several years. The coaches had a short-lived tenure, managing only six matches, which indicates a broader crisis within the team's management and performance.

The match took place at the Estadio Florencio Sola, and the defeat exacerbates the challenges Newell's Old Boys face in their campaign, further questioning the club's strategy and direction. Following the coaches' absence from the post-match press conference, it became evident that the partnership was over, a sentiment later confirmed by Newell’s in an official statement. This situation leaves the club in a precarious position, with the need for immediate leadership and direction, especially with the upcoming match against Estudiantes de La Plata.

In response to the urgent need for new leadership, Lucas Bernardi, the coach of the reserve team, has been appointed as the interim manager. This change raises questions about the future of Newell's Old Boys and whether the new interim leadership will be able to stabilize the team amid ongoing turmoil. The news underscores a critical moment for the club as it seeks to navigate through its instability and re-establish itself in the competitive landscape of Argentine football.
