Newell’s Ends Apertura on Six-Game Unbeaten Run, Sets Two-Month Preseason in Rosario

A long World Cup break now gives coach Frank Kudelka time to rebuild before the Clausura.

Overview

  • The 1-1 draw at Vélez closed the regular phase on an unbeaten streak of six matches that eased relegation pressure in the annual table.
  • Newell’s took 12 of 18 points over the final six games for a 66.7% return, a top-four haul in that span under Frank Darío Kudelka.
  • The team failed to reach the playoffs and is already out of the Copa Argentina, so there are no official matches until the Clausura.
  • The squad is on leave until late May, then will run a two-month preseason in Rosario with fitness work, tactical drills, and friendlies.
  • Club leaders called an assembly to present audit findings as tight finances shape transfer plans and led to keeping preseason at home to cut costs.
