This Wednesday, Marcelo Gallardo announced at a press conference that he will remain at River Plate for another year. Argentine’s contract with the club would end at the end of this year.
“After so many years and what an institution like this requires, I needed to reflect and decide what I was going to do. I didn’t have much time, but I decided to go on. It’s a decision that goes beyond what I’ve lived and felt, it’s worth it, I deserve to be a year more and after the match against Colón, rest a little and face a new year with a lot of energy,” stated the coach.
