Seven months after his stage as Diego Pablo Simeone's second ended, Germán Burgos (Buenos Aires, 1969) already has a team to serve as first coach, his goal after nine seasons as Cholo's right-hand man at Atlético.
He will do it at Newell's Old Boys, with a contract until December and the possibility of extending his stay for another year, if things go well.
Although his initial desire was to remain in Spain, he has finally accepted the call of the Rosario team, where another Atlético icon such as
Maxi Rodríguez
is still active
.
The red and black team has reaped four defeats and a draw in their first five matches in the Argentine league, with a painful defeat against
Defensa and Justicia
(4-0) that led to the call for help to Mono Burgos.
The Argentine coach faces his first great adventure at the helm of a team, after having waited in Madrid for an opportunity in Spain.
His signing for
Zaragoza
was about to materialize last December, but finally the Maño team ended up betting on
Juan Ignacio Martínez
.
His first and only experience as head coach was at
Carabanchel
(2010), with which he was promoted to Preferential.
Later he traveled with Simeone in
Catania
,
Racing de Avellaneda
and, finally,
Atlético
, whose adventure ended in Lisbon, after the Champions League quarter-final match against Leipzig (2-1).
