Boca Juniors added another former multi-champion footballer to its lower division structure. This is Clemente Rodríguez, who after a short experience in the coaching staff of Deportivo Merlo (together with Leonel García), joined the juveniles xeneizes.

The former full-back will collaborate with Walter Pico in the Fifth Division, who comes from being champion last year and has interesting projects. Last weekend, the category beat Banfield 3-1 in the championship premiere with goals from Santiago Dalmasso -two- and Mateo Mendia.

“I spent six years away from the club. My biggest dream was to come back and have the illusion that all coaches are former players. It was the biggest dream and I'm fulfilling it. Seeing you all together after 20 years or more makes me very happy. We know that criticism is going to come here, Ameal lives peacefully and we want it. We are going to take great care of the club and we are going to put together a top team that can compete, with good players,” said Juan Román Riquelme in an extensive interview he gave to TyC Sports yesterday.

In this way, there are 13 former footballers who make up the inferior corps with blue and gold backgrounds: Hugo Ibarra, Mauricio Serna (Reserve), Blas Armando Giunta, Diego Soñora (General Coordinators), Roberto Pompei, Claudio Morel Rodríguez (Fourth Division), Walter Pico, Clemente Rodríguez (Fifth), Matías Donnet, Cata Diaz (Sixth), Antonio Barijho, Martin Andrizzi (Seventh) and Pablo Ledesma (Eighth). In addition, Mauro Navas is the coach of the Ninth Division.

In addition, Matías Arce and Roberto Passucci are part of the scouting area and Claudio Benetti was incorporated some time ago into the children's. Meanwhile, Jorge Martínez moved to professional women's football and is seconded by Pablo Jerez, to complete the group of 15 in the orbit of the men's first team led by Sebastián Battaglia and Juan Krupoviesa.

If you consider that Jorge Bermudez, Chelo Delgado and Raúl Cascini also appear on the Football Council, together with Roman are a total of 22 former Boca players linked to the club's football. The dream of the second vice president is increasingly taking shape.
