Eduardo “Chacho” Coudet will be the new River Plate head coach, club president Stefano Di Carlo confirmed on Tuesday. “It’s done,” Di Carlo told sports outlet ESPN. If everything goes well, it should be around noon.”The River president confirmed the coach will sign a contract running until December 2027 and take up his position immediately. Coudet had a contract with Spanish club Deportivo Alavés until June this year, so River will have to pay compensation to terminate it. Di Carlo said the club was looking for someone who had history with the Millonario, but also a proven track record as a coach.
