Club Atlético River Plate faces its worst crisis in decades after three consecutive losses
Manager Eduardo Coudet held a nearly two-hour meeting with president Stefano Di Carlo and his coaching staff following the 1-0 defeat to Rosario Central, which left the team at the bottom of its group with three losses in three matches. League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 6th in Liga Profesional Argentina, 22 pts, 6W-4D-6L from 16 games, recent form DLLWL.
Coudet, visibly affected but with energy to continue, spoke with the players and management. The Chacho was booed by fans when announced at the stadium. However, the board decided not to follow Boca's model of constant changes and give the manager continuity.
River Plate had never lost five consecutive domestic matches in its professional history, nor suffered three straight losses without scoring. The pressure is at its peak, but the club trusts in the team's reconstruction, aiming to sign Thiago Almada and a left-back.
Coudet sent messages of optimism to the squad. The Chacho shared an image on social media with the slogan Los cagones no hacen historia, showing his determination. The next match will be key to reverse the bad streak and regain the fans' confidence.
