When does Chacho Coudet debut as DT of River

Eduardo Coudet, the newly appointed manager of River Plate, is set to debut against Huracán after the resignation of Marcelo Gallardo due to poor results.

Eduardo 'Chacho' Coudet has been appointed as the new head coach of River Plate, replacing Marcelo Gallardo, who stepped down after failing to meet the club's expectations during his second tenure. The announcement of Coudet's hiring follows his contract termination with Deportivo Alavés, which necessitated financial compensation from River Plate.

Coudet's official presentation is scheduled for Wednesday at 11:45 AM (Argentinian time) at the Monumental Stadium, where he will be introduced by club president Stefano Di Carlo and sporting director Enzo Francescoli. This marks a significant moment for Coudet, who previously had a successful stint as a player with River Plate from 2002 to 2004.

His debut match as head coach will take place on Thursday, March 12, against Huracán at the Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó, as part of the 10th round of the league. This game not only symbolises a new chapter for River Plate but also sets high expectations for Coudet, who has a reputation for strong leadership and performance.
