Coudet puts his River future under scrutiny: 'I won't harm anyone'

Eduardo Coudet, River Plate's coach, openly addressed the team's dire footballing crisis following a sixth consecutive defeat in the local league. The coach's visible distress on the sidelines mirrored the team's performance, deepening skepticism about his tenure.

“

If I see that results don't start coming, I won't do any harm to River, or the fans, or the club, or this management that trusted me. I am the most self-critical in that regard.

"I always said I know the place I am in. It's a very complex, very difficult situation after losing so many games in a row. I know the consequences of such a streak," Coudet stated in a post-match press conference. He further elaborated on his future, saying, "If I see that results don't start coming, I won't do any harm to River, or the fans, or the club, or this management that trusted me. I am the most self-critical in that regard."

The team's poor form has intensified criticism, especially after a recent loss to Rosario Central. Coudet also addressed the public circulation of his private WhatsApp messages, calling it a "lack of respect" and emphasizing his preference for direct communication. "In this game, you have to have more codes. I don't have social media, I'm still old guard," he added.

Despite the mounting pressure and widespread public discontent, Coudet expressed a desire to turn the situation around, acknowledging the tools available. However, he reiterated his awareness of the precariousness of his position. The upcoming Copa Sudamericana match against Independiente Santa Fe looms large, representing a critical objective for River Plate, which has invested heavily in its squad.
