The negotiation did not last long. The Argentine turned the ball around after frustrated agreements with Venezuelan César Farías, who was not released by the Bolivian team. Díaz, for his part, has been without a club since leaving Libertad de Paraguay in September.
At 61, the Argentine will have his first opportunity in Brazilian soccer. The new coach arrives in Rio de Janeiro this Saturday. As the club still has to go through the bureaucracy to register it with CBF, the debut should be for next week. However, there is the possibility that he will accompany the delegation to Salvador for the 20th round of the Brasileirão, against Bahia.

Diaz will be Botafogo’s fourth coach this season. The club started 2020 with Alberto Valentim, dismissed in March and succeeded by Paulo Autuori. In September, another change: Bruno Lazaroni, who remained in office for about a month.
Ramón Díaz was an important player in Argentine soccer, mainly in River Plate and in the national team. After hanging up his boots, he led teams such as San Lorenzo and Independiente in his native country, as well as River itself, where he was multi-champion. In the international curriculum, he has worked in England, Mexico and Paraguay.
