River Plate's Eduardo Coudet has resigned as head coach after just seven months in charge, following the team's elimination from the Copa Sudamericana. Club president Stefano Di Carlo announced the decision at a press conference, stating that both parties agreed to part ways amicably. Coudet cited the need for results and his personal deadlines as reasons for his departure.
Former River midfielder Leonardo Ponzio, already on the coaching staff, will serve as interim coach until a replacement is named. The club has already begun searching for a new head coach, with names like Ramón Díaz, Hernán Crespo, and Santiago Solari being mentioned as frontrunners. The departure of Coudet comes at a difficult time for River, who have won only once in their last nine matches and sit second-bottom of their group in the Clausura competition.
