Secret talks: reports claim Boca have already picked their new manager
At this time, the great anticipation at Boca Juniors involves the attentive wait for the appointment of the team's next head coach, who will officially debut in mid-June at the 2025 Club World Cup.
According to the latest updates from journalists close to the club from La Ribera, the name of the coach has already been chosen, and the coach in question has also said "Yes."
However, the club and the management led by Juan Román Riquelme have decided to keep the negotiations "secret" and not yet reveal the chosen coach.

The flurry of names has been intense and constant since the departure of Fernando Gago was confirmed several weeks ago, after losing in the Superclásico at the Monumental.

Several names have already been ruled out for different reasons, while now the main candidates are two: Gustavo Quinteros and Miguel Ángel Russo.
The latter, currently under contract with San Lorenzo and in the midst of the final stages of the Argentine Apertura tournament with his team in the semifinals, will have to wait for the outcome of this competition to accept a proposal from the Xeneize. This is why there is mainly speculation about his name, hence the secrecy of these negotiations.

Harris English Sounds Off on Ryder Cup Spot at Bethpage: 'I Belong'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. All eyes in the golf world are staring at East Lake this week, host venue for the 2025 Tour Championship. Thirty of the best golfers on the planet will look to claim the FedEx Cup as the season-long champion. Yet, veteran Harris English is still over the moon about another accomplishment. Team USA's six automatic qualifying spots were determined after last week's BMW Championship, where Scottie Scheffler won yet again. English tied for 12th at 3-under, jumping from sixth to fifth in the Ryder Cup rankings. He passed Bryson DeChambeau, who only garners points through majors with LIV Golf still left out in the cold. On the eve of the Tour Championship teeing off, English was asked his thoughts on not having to wait for a captain's pick. "Making that Ryder Cup team on points was a big goal of mine. I was a captain's pick back in 2021, so making that team on points and finishing fifth just makes me believe that I belong.

(Photo by) More"I'm a big part of that team, and I love being around those guys, and we had some great conversations. We're going to grow a lot closer the next few weeks, and getting all prepared for Bethpage." Four years ago, the Americans decimated Team Europe 19-9 at Whistling Straits. But this year is sure to be a much bigger challenge. Camaraderie and cohesion are extremely important at the Ryder Cup. Hence on Tuesday night, the six members who have automatically qualified for the team (Scheffler, English, JJ Spaun, Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, Bryson DeChambeau) all had dinner together for the first time. "Yeah, dinner was great. We had some good conversations. It was good to get everybody in the room and had some of the stats guys there, and get everybody thinking the same way and getting everybody's thoughts." Team USA is looking to rebound after an embarrassing loss at the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome, Italy. This time, they have home-course advantage with the tournament being played at Bethpage Black in New York. More Golf: Scottie Scheffler Shares What He Took From Tiger Woods to Stay Motivated

Did Noni Madueke's Club World Cup medal end up in the White House? Everything you need to know
Chelsea fans are buzzing over a quirky theory that Noni Madueke's missing FIFA Club World Cup winner's medal might be sitting in the White House. The speculation started after U.S. President Donald Trump hosted a high-profile Ukraine peace meeting this week. While the summit focused on serious diplomatic discussions, football fans noticed something unusual behind the Resolute Desk, the FIFA Club World Cup trophy on display. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The White House (@whitehouse) Chelsea's Triumph in the Club World Cup Chelsea lifted the FIFA Club World Cup in the U.S. last month after beating PSG 3-0 in a memorable final. Trump later revealed that Chelsea had received a replica trophy, with the original trophy placed in the Oval Office. However, it wasn't just the trophy that caught fans' attention. Many believe a winner's medal was visible next to it — sparking rumours that it might belong to Noni Madueke. The Madueke Medal Theory During the trophy presentation, FIFA President Gianni Infantino handed Trump a medal after the Chelsea squad had been recognised. Footage from the event shows Trump pocketing the medal before leaving the stage. At the time, supporters speculated the medal may have belonged to Madueke, who was part of Chelsea's squad but flew home mid-tournament to finalize his £52 million move to Arsenal. As a result, he missed the medal ceremony entirely. Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella even fueled the rumor, joking: 'He [Trump] put it in his pocket. He has it there in the White House, very well placed.' The Truth Behind the Rumour With images circulating of what appears to be a medal sitting beside the Club World Cup trophy in the Oval Office, supporters have connected the dots and concluded it must be Madueke's. However, Daily Mail Sport recently reported that the winger was due to receive his official Club World Cup winner's medal by mail, casting doubt on the fan-driven theory.
