Eduardo Coudet has been confirmed as the successor to Marcelo Gallardo at River Plate, as he will soon sign a contract that secures his role until December 2027. Following productive meetings with River’s president, Stefano Di Carlo, and the club's director of football, Enzo Francescoli, Coudet resigned from his position at Alavés during a training session, signaling the start of his transition to River. River Plate has successfully negotiated a compensation package with Alavés, allowing Coudet to exit his contract, which originally ran until June 30. The agreed compensation is set at one million dollars, a significant reduction from Alavés' initial demand of two million. With these financial arrangements settled, Coudet is expected to arrive in Argentina between Wednesday and Thursday to finalize the details of his new role at River. This coaching change is significant for River Plate as they move forward after Gallardo’s impactful tenure. Coudet’s appointment is seen as a strategic move, bringing fresh perspectives and renewed energy to the coaching strategy, which could have implications for the team’s performance in upcoming competitions and its overall trajectory in Argentine football.
