Sebastian Battaglia He had a fight with Agustín Almendra that marked his time in Boca Juniors as a coach. The TyC Sports channel advanced part of an exclusive interview, where the coach recognizes that fight and admits that Almendra disapproved of his work as coach in disrespectful terms.
The former Boca and Huracán coach recognized two very strong phrases that the current Racing midfielder said to him in that practice. “As a player you won everything, but as a coach you are a disaster”It was the first one. “I’m going to say it because I don’t have any problem. He told me that part and there is another part, where he tells me: ‘You won four Libertadores in a nutshell.’ Thank goodness, you only won four, ha…” revealed Battaglia, the player with the most titles in the history of Xeneixe.
“The rules are there to be followed. If not, it’s anything. Everyone does what they want. You are in a group and you are part of this. There is a head, a coach and a management part,” was the first thing he said, in a preview of the Líbero Versus program.
In March 2022, Battaglia went down to train two players in the Reserve, Almendra and Alan Varela. At that time, the coach did not want to go into details about each case, but prior to a trip to Córdoba to play in the Argentine Cup, he assured that “They were two different acts of indiscipline, it is a decision that corresponds to me to make, the club has rules and they must be fulfilled. They trained with Reserve. They will have to take charge of the things they did.”
