Arruabarrena lands first signing as Boca's new era begins

First signing of the Arruabarrena era

The Arruabarrena 2.0 project has its first piece. Boca have moved early to secure their opening reinforcement ahead of the returning manager's pre-season, with reports confirming the deal is done (1). Rodolfo Arruabarrena, currently wrapping up commitments in Arabian football, is expected to finalise his arrival shortly. This is his second stint at the club, and the rebuild starts now.

Paredes breaks silence on exit talk

Leandro Paredes has addressed the swirling rumors about a possible Boca departure, speaking directly to fans about his future (2). The captain is heading into a World Cup summer and speculation has been building. His response? He's staying calm, but the door isn't slammed shut. For a squad already in transition under new management, Paredes' stance matters. His leadership would be hard to replace.

Fan-reaktioner

The mood is split. Some fans are leaning into gallows humor, welcoming Arruabarrena as the latest in a long line of managerial saviors with a knowing wink. Others are genuinely buzzing about Zeballos staying, with one post celebrating 'Zeballos prime' and declaring 'ganó la bicicleta.' A more cynical thread points to structural problems at presidential level, asking how the eighth new coach fixes what's broken above him. See the discussion here.
