Boca Juniors has been eliminated from the Copa Libertadores and this has exacerbated the crisis in the club, with a general discontent among its fans who demand the departure of Juan Román Riquelme, president of the institution, and the current coach, Claudio Úbeda. And it is that, in addition to being satisfied with a spot in the playoffs of the Copa Sudamericana, they did not even reach the finals of the Torneo Apertura in Argentina. The demand for change is felt in each game and, from the high spheres of the club, they would be thinking of hiring one of the most successful coaches in the last time in the continent, Gustavo Costas. The former coach of Alianza Lima in our country, was champion of the Copa Sudamericana 2024 and the Recopa Sudamericana 2025 with Racing Club. In the last months it did not go as expected with ‘La Academia’, so the past 23 of May 2026, the club's board decided to terminate his contract and end a relationship that gave important titles to the institution. With Costas free to sign with any team interested, it was revealed that Boca Juniors was interested in giving him the reins of their first team, in this recess for the World Cup in the United States. This was reported by the Argentine journalist Martín Arévalo of ESPN, who confirmed a communication between the 63-year-old coach and Marcelo Delgado, the club's sports director. “The Chelo Delgado has a relationship with Gustavo Costas. He was directed by him and, although he did not offer him the job, he wanted to know what he thinks he will do after leaving Racing”, the communicator began in the program ‘Buen Día ESPN’. “Does Gustavo Costas want to coach Boca if they offer him the job? I unconditionally say that he wants to. Someone from Gustavo Costas' environment told me that now the objective is to give a quality leap, to direct a place equal to or better than Racing”, he added. In his last stage in Racing Club he could not even access the next phase of the Copa Sudamericana, despite being one of the favorites in the group that shared Caracas FC, Botafogo. This was considered a failure in the internal, and it was the fundamental reason for his departure. The option of Boca Juniors would be very attractive for him and his environment, being one of the most important clubs in the continent and the world. A very prestigious showcase, although his identification with ‘La Academia’ could weigh in the decision.
