Eduardo Coudet, known as Chacho, has successfully parted ways with Deportivo Alavés and is set to join River Plate as their new head coach. This transition comes after Coudet formally resigned from Alavés, where he had been under contract until June. To facilitate this move, River Plate will pay Alavés a compensation fee of one million euros, thus allowing Coudet to sign a two-year contract with the Argentine club.

The parting with Alavés is noteworthy as the club is currently battling relegation in LaLiga, making Coudet's exit come at a challenging time. His departure creates additional difficulties for Alavés, as they not only lose their coach but also are under pressure to perform in a critical period of the season. Meanwhile, Coudet's impending arrival in Argentina and his new role at River Plate are generating excitement among fans, as he is viewed as a capable leader for the team.

With Coudet expected to arrive by Wednesday, he will bring in two new assistant coaches to the River Plate staff, signaling a fresh start for the team. As River Plate aims for success in the domestic league and beyond, Coudet's experience and tactics will be pivotal in their strategy moving forward. This coaching change is significant in Argentinian football, indicating River's commitment to reclaiming their status in the league.
