Comerciantes Unidos vs Melgar on 10 May
The Newell’s Old Boys have appointed Mariano Soso as their new head coach. The 44-year-old Argentine manager will lead the team through the remainder of the season, which includes the ongoing Liga Profesional and the Copa Argentina.
Soso arrives at the club following his departure from Everton de Viña del Mar. Throughout his career, he has also managed clubs such as Defensa y Justicia, Emelec, and Sporting Cristal. His primary objective at Newell’s will be to improve the team’s performance in the domestic league, where they are currently struggling. In parallel, the club remains in contention for the Copa Argentina.
The appointment comes as Newell’s seek stability and a clear tactical identity. Soso is known for his analytical approach and focus on possession-based football. Fans will hope he can guide the team to a strong finish in the overall table and a deep playoff run, with particular attention to the Torneo Clausura later in the season.
