Stay or Go? Boca Juniors Coach Decides on Carlos Palacios and Williams Alarcón's Future

The future of Chilean footballers Carlos Palacios and Williams Alarcón at Boca Juniors remains uncertain as the club's new coach, Rodolfo Arruabarrena, prepares to assess their performance. Arruabarrena, who recently took the helm, intends to closely watch both players during the upcoming preseason training sessions.

Speculation has been rife regarding Palacios's potential exit, fueled by reports of his desire to return to his former club, Colo-Colo. Alarcón also faces an ambiguous situation with the Buenos Aires giants. The new coaching staff's evaluation will be crucial in determining whether they remain part of the squad for the second half of the 2026 season.

According to the Argentine portal Planeta Boca, the coach will not make hasty decisions. He plans to analyze the contributions of both Palacios and Alarcón during the preparatory period. Following this assessment, the club will address the situations of other players whose futures are also in question.

Arruabarrena's approach suggests a thorough review of the current roster before committing to any significant player movements. The performance of these two Chilean internationals under the new management will be closely watched by fans and media alike.
