Daniel Passarella talked about everything: the new Committee, the problems he encountered at the club, his hope to see Diego Buonanotte playing within three months, and he said that if the audit shows any red flags, “have no doubt that we are going to complain. “
River’s new President confirmed that the German firm, KPMG, will be responsible for the audit that was promised during his campaign. “If something does not match, have no doubt that we are going to complain,” he said. On Jose Maria Aguilar, he said that he learned what ‘not’ to do.
“As a coach, I said that if I did not win, I would leave but the people did not know that if I’d won, I still would have left. I couldn’t handle too much.” he said on his departure in 2007, in an interview published by Olé. He also added that the current Committee is more capable to defend itself than the previous management.
In reference to Jose Maria Aguilar, he stated “here he rented the stadium to a high end group for $150,000, while (Ricardo) Arjona paid $300,000 for the stadium of Boca. That is all I can say but all contracts were made from a ‘disadvantaged’ point of view. River needs just a push.”
Finally, Passarrella referenced Diego Buonanotte. “Luis Seveso (River’s doctor), told me that Diego would be back in three months. Diego will kill us if we leave him out for half of the championship, so I don’t think we will ask AFA for a fifth reinforcement.”
