"Argentine coach Eduardo Coudet was presented as the new head coach of Club Atletico River Plate in a press conference held at the Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires on Wednesday. Coudet received the club's official jersey in front of various media outlets, highlighting the intensity with which he takes on the challenge. "Very happy that this situation has happened. Now simply start working. A beautiful journey together begins with a lot of hope," said the head coach. Later, the coach made it clear that the main objective will be to fight for and win the local tournament, without neglecting the club's historical obligation to compete for titles every season. "The responsibility is here. I know what it means to be in this place and we have to win the championship," emphasised the coach. Finally, Coudet analyzed the potential of the team he inherits and asked for the support of his fans to successfully face this new stage within the squad. "I really believe we have a great squad. Football is about moments, and we need to recover levels. We need the fans help, we need to start from zero all together," said the sporting leader. Eduardo Coudet arrives at River Plate after his stint at Alaves in Spain with a contract until December 2027, following the departure of Marcelo Gallardo, the most successful coach in the club's history. As a player, he was part of River Plate's ranks, winning several local titles, and was considered at the time a fierce and technical player. After retiring, he began his coaching career at Rosario Central in 2015. He moved to European football as the coach of Celta de Vigo in Spain, working there for several seasons. In December 2024, he took over as coach of Deportivo Alaves, until early 2026 as the new head coach of Club Atletico River Plate. "
