Argentine TV says Athletico sought out Racing coach

TNT Sports of Argentina published that the Athletico Paranaense demonstrated interest in hiring the technician RacingFernando Gago.

Former Volante of Real Madrid and the Argentine national team, Gago, 37 years old, began his coaching career in 2021 at Aldosivi. It's in the Racing since 2021, with 41 wins, 19 draws and 20 losses since then. He was the national runner-up in 2022, behind only the Mouth Juniors. In the current season, the team is in the 15th place, but makes good campaign in Liberators (two wins and a draw).

Athletico didn't say anything about the news. The journalist Monique Vilela, who covers the day-to-day life of the paranaense club, stated that the publication of the Argentine TNT has no basis. "Do you really think that Felipon would be unethical to the point of consulting a coach with Paulo Turra in charge of the team?", the journalist published.

Felipão has been Technical Director of Athletico since the beginning of 2023 and bet his chips on Paulo Turra as a technician.

If part of the cheer shows dissatisfaction with the team's performance, the numbers follow in favor of Turra. Athletico is the team of the A Series with the best use of points (81.5%) in the 2023 season, with 27 games, 21 wins, 3 draws, 3 losses, 52 goals scored and 18 goals suffered – the Sofascore data.
