Soccer-Russo will return as Boca Juniors coach, club spokesman confirms
FILE PHOTO: Soccer Football - Copa Argentina - Round of 16 - Boca Juniors v River Plate - Estadio Ciudad de la Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina - August 4, 2021 Boca Juniors coach Miguel Angel Russo Pool via REUTERS/Agustin Marcarian/File Photo BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) -Miguel Angel Russo is set to return as coach of Boca Juniors ahead of the Club World Cup, a club spokesman confirmed on Monday. Russo will take the reins for his third stint with the Argentine giants, having previously coached the team in 2007 and 2020-2021, leading them to win four titles, including the Copa Libertadores. After leaving Boca, the experienced 69-year-old coach spent time at Rosario Central and most recently at San Lorenzo, with whom he suffered elimination from the Argentine league semi-finals on Sunday. "Miguel and I have come to an agreement. All he has to do now is officially sever his ties with San Lorenzo, which should be easy for him," the spokesman told Reuters, declining to offer further details. Russo will replace Fernando Gago, who was sacked last month after Boca lost the Argentine Superclasico against arch-rivals River Plate and had a poor run including getting knocked out of the Libertadores in the preliminary round. Boca start their Club World Cup campaign on June 16 in the United States, where they will compete in Group C against Bayern Munich, Benfica and Auckland City. (Report by Ramiro Scandolo.

PSG join race to sign Franco Mastantuono
Paris Saint-Germain are preparing for one of the most important matches in the club's history, with Luis Enrique's side set to come up against Inter Milan in the final of the UEFA Champions League. However, behind the scenes, Luís Campos is now preparing for the future. Campos' future at the club was clarified last week. The Portuguese sporting director signed a long-term extension at PSG, bringing an end to the uncertainty that had clouded his future for several months. Prior to the extension, Campos had already been working on the upcoming window. Advertisement As per Florian Plettenberg, Franco Mastantuono (17) is a target for Les Parisiens. Campos is a big fan of the player, leading to PSG joining a host of European clubs in showing an interest in the midfielder. Plettenberg understands that talks between Mastantuono have already taken place. His current contract with River Plate runs until the summer of 2026. GFFN | Luke Entwistle

Platense reach Argentine Apertura final after 1-0 win over San Lorenzo
Platense booked their place in the final of the Argentine Apertura competition with a 1-0 win at San Lorenzo on Sunday, thanks to a second-half goal from substitute Franco Zapiola. Platense, who beat River Plate in the quarter-finals, will face Huracan in the final after they overcame Independiente 6–5 in a thrilling penalty shootout on Saturday. San Lorenzo struggled to find their rhythm in the first half, and their progress was further hindered when Ezequiel Cerutti was forced off due to injury as the game was halted for a few minutes. Platense pressed hard, with efforts from Augusto Lotti, Ronaldo Martinez and Vicente Taborda testing San Lorenzo's defence and goalkeeper Orlando Gill made some fine saves, ensuring the home side remained in contention. The visitors finally broke the deadlock through Zapiola, who came on for Lotti in the 70th minute, and two minutes later, scored the winner following a corner kick. "Netting the goal was a huge thrill. Today, we are wearing a shirt bearing a patch in memory of the late Pope Francis, and that means a lot to us as Argentines. We will wear it in every game now. I think it helped us today," Zapiola told TNT Sports. REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.
