Banfield Coach Pedro Troglio Accuses Press of Campaign to Oust Him, Vows to Stay

His outburst underscores a fraught season defined by poor results, scarce resources, unpaid wages claims.

Overview

  • Troglio, following Monday's 0-0 home draw with Independiente Rivadavia, accused a sector of the press of “operating” to get him fired.
  • He refused to resign and told reporters he will remain as Banfield coach unless the club decides to remove him.
  • He said the club has not paid him, describing daily work without pay as he defended his staff and players.
  • The coach did not name any journalists he says are pushing for his dismissal.
  • The draw left Banfield with slim playoff hopes in the Apertura, with a six-match winless away run and two road games still to play at Atlético Tucumán and Barracas Central.
