Boca Juniors sits atop the Liga Profesional Argentina and, according to Carlos Tevez, the former striker could also sit at the top of its management. In an ESPN interview with Sebastián Vignolo, the “Apache” admitted he does not rule out becoming Boca’s president, though he stressed the timing isn’t right yet.

What exactly did Tevez say?

When Vignolo asked the 42‑year‑old if he ever imagined being president of the Nation or of the club that made him famous, Tevez answered earnestly: “Leaving Fuerte Apache and becoming president of a Nation… or becoming president of Boca is something that inflates any human’s chest. Those are two things I don’t discard at all.” He added that when he stops “giving on the football field,” he will consider it, but today is not the moment.

Why does it matter for the Xeneize?

Boca Juniors leads the table with 29 points, 8 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses from 16 games, and enjoys a recent form of WWWWL. The side boasts a +16 goal difference (28 scored, 12 conceded) and sits 4 points clear of Union Santa Fe. In this context, any talk of the club’s presidency sparks huge interest among fans, who constantly seek stability and a long‑term vision.

What would his move to management entail?

Tevez noted that before taking the presidency, he would need “to win the league and the Libertadores.” For him, sporting success is the prerequisite for any administrative role. He also recalled his roots in Fuerte Apache, emphasizing that his personal story gives him a unique perspective to lead an institution as massive as Boca.

What’s next for the former striker?

The Apache also said he would like to coach the team, but that “the right moment will come, without forcing anything.” For now, his future seems focused on projects off the pitch, such as his work covering the World Cup for ESPN. Meanwhile, Boca remains intent on consolidating its position: the last result was a 0‑1 loss to Racing Club on 7 December 2025, but the recent LLWWW form shows the side is regaining momentum.

In short, Tevez’s interview opens the door to a possible political chapter within the club, yet he makes clear any step will depend on sporting success and institutional timing. Xeneizes will watch closely, aware that Tevez’s story has been intertwined with Boca’s since his early days.
