Marcelo Gallardo is going through decisive hours as the coach of River Plate. With six losses in the last seven matches, his continuity hangs by a thread as the club seeks urgent answers.

The institutional crisis at River under Gallardo

Gallardo is facing one of his worst streaks at Núñez. The elimination against Palmeiras in Brazil put him in a difficult position. River was beaten 3-1 and got knocked out of the Copa Libertadores.

His overall record now stands at 497 matches as River's coach (combining both periods), a number that reinforces his symbolic weight but also increases the pressure.

There is no relief in the local tournament either. The loss to Sarmiento marked the fourth consecutive defeat in the Clausura and deepened doubts about his playing style.

Gallardo and his words in the midst of the collapse

Marcelo Gallardo responded with self-criticism: "One cannot live off the past," he said after the defeat to Sarmiento, signaling that he does not shirk his responsibility.

He also admitted specific mistakes. In the elimination, he criticized the refereeing and highlighted faults in the team's concentration in the final minutes.

"We are in a rebuilding phase," he pointed out when analyzing the squad and the internal transition. He emphasized that some players "must improve to be more reliable."

Why did the project stop responding?

The tactical wear is evident. The proposal does not provide alternatives or responses when River is under pressure. Opponents read it easily and capitalize on every lapse.

Within the team, recriminations rise. Gallardo pointed to individual decisions, untimely changes, and concentration errors as key elements in the debacle.

Furthermore, some players have shown inconsistent performances, undermining the coach's authority in critical situations.

Possible scenarios for Gallardo's outcome at River Plate

Given this situation, the management is considering alternatives. An early termination is not ruled out if an immediate reaction does not occur.

Another possibility: renegotiating the contract with explicit goals, conditioning his continuity on achieving objectives for the remainder of the year.

Alternative names are also emerging on River's horizon, although Gallardo's imprint complicates any superficial replacement.

Social pressure is also weighing in: skeptical fans even demand explanations for the failure and the accumulation of unexpected defeats.

Gallardo knows that his erratic legacy will now depend on his ability to steer the ship amid the storm.

Whatever decision the management makes, the truth is that Marcelo Gallardo is perhaps going through the most delicate episode of his second stage at River Plate.
