Boca Coach Russo Released from Clinic, Will Continue Medical Checkups

Boca Juniors head coach Miguel Ángel Russo was released from the Fleni clinic on Friday after a week of hospitalization due to a urinary tract infection. As reported by La Nación, the 69-year-old coach returned home but will have additional medical tests on Monday.

During his hospital stay, Russo was visited by his son Ignacio, a forward at Tigre, and his assistant Claudio Úbeda, who managed Boca’s training sessions while Russo was away. Although he is feeling better, doctors initially chose not to treat him as an outpatient due to concerns over the bacteria and his overall condition.

Club officials monitored the coach’s recovery closely but did not release any official updates on his health. Russo will continue to be under medical supervision before he can return to full duties.

Boca is set to play against Rosario Central on September 14 in the Torneo Clausura, and it is still unclear if Russo will be ready to return to coaching by that time. The next few days will be crucial for determining his availability for the match.
