Boca Juniors fired the head coach under the pressure of the fans

11.12.2012

The coach of Argentine football giants Boca Juniors - Julio Cesar Falsioni was released under the pressure of the club's fans.

The fans of "La Bombonera" sent Falsioni with powerful boos after the last game of the season "Aperture" on Saturday, despite the 2:1 victory over Godoy Cruz.

As a consequence, the club decided not to renew the expiring at the end of the year contract of the Specialist.

Falsioni was two years at the helm of Boca, where the team won one title and The Bowl of the country.

The main reason for the deterioration of the relations of the specialist with the audience was the scandal with the playmaker and the idol of the fans Juan Roman Riquelme at the beginning of the year.

In July, the "blue-yellow" lost the final of the Copa Libertadores from the Brazilian Corinthians and later Riquelme quit the team.

In August Boca fell after penalty kicks against Arsenal in a match for the Super Cup in Argentina, and later finished in a disappointing sixth place in the league "Aperture", 8 points behind the champion Velez Sarsfield.
