Eduardo Dominguez reunites with the team / EDLP Press
Estudiantes’ defeat on Sunday evening in Victoria to Tigre was not just another downfall, but a devastating blow to what is to come for the team next year at international level. In addition, uncertainty has increased regarding the coach’s continuity for 2026, since he left the Jose Delgiovanna stadium very upset, and without making statements to the press.
At this stage of the match, the forecast is not favorable for Pincha, because through the annual table they have lost the opportunity to enter the Copa Sudamericana zone, while in Zone A their classification to the Clausura qualifiers is not guaranteed. Everything will depend on what happens on the final date, when they host Argentinos Juniors at UNO. Although he relies on himself to play in the round of 16, he will seek to prevent the ghosts of the past, as happened in the opening tournament against the same opponent, from giving him a bad afternoon.
Now, one of the topics on the agenda is what will happen with Eduardo Dominguez for next year’s season. Currently, the two parties will finish discussing the matter once the team’s participation in the tournament ends. In this sense, the club confirms that it will not rush with determination, despite the two successive defeats and the momentary international participation. The idea is that if a possible solution is offered, it should be consensual.
In this regard, at City Bell there are hours of turmoil, insecurity and anxiety, because it is one of the most decisive moments of the era of Domínguez, who still receives the support of Marcos Angeleri, the sporting director of the institution. Specifically, as reported by this medium, a conversation took place between the captain and the coach after the match in Victoria, and minutes before the coach held the press conference – the first time he had done so since his arrival in the student team. He later left through one of the side doors of the stadium, and when journalists intercepted them and asked him why he did not make a statement to the media, no sound was made.
This situation once again demonstrates the erosion of the association, which has been difficult for the coach to solve, because he cannot find the answers to reflect the precise present that Estudiantes is experiencing.
For its part, the team will meet again this afternoon, after the dark night of Sunday, where the teams will have to look for quick solutions.
The truth is that there are currently no indications of a meeting during the next few hours. Whereas, as we mentioned, after participating in the conclusion, the two parties will sit down to negotiate in order to reach an agreement.
Despite this, the focus is on the match against Pichito Colorado de la Parental, as it will serve as a before-and-after marker for the continuity of several members of the team for next season. Meanwhile, uncertainty and silence reign at City Bell Country Club.
