Chicho Serna speaks out after leaving Boca's Football Council | OneFootball

Amid a tense atmosphere at Boca regarding football matters, the club is experiencing a moment of change highlighted by the dissolution of the Football Council and the departure of Chicho Serna and Raúl Cascini from the institution. After the official announcement by Xeneize, the former Colombian footballer broke his silence and spoke about his resignation.

One of the most criticized points in recent months at Boca was the Football Council. In this regard, after the defeat against Huracán, which marked the worst negative streak in the club's history, Chicho Serna and Raúl Cascini submitted their respective resignations. Today, the announcement was made official, and only Marcelo Delgado will continue in another role.

After the news of their departure from Xeneize became known, Serna broke his silence and spoke with the media present. The Colombian began his statement by explaining that he submitted his resignation and was part of the institution of La Ribera until today.

In the same vein, and clearly affected by the situation, he commented that it was a very difficult decision to make. “Those who know me or have come to know me, know what this club represents for me and my family, but life is about decisions. Many times we get it right, many others we make mistakes,” he explained.

Chicho Serna emphasized that “he held nothing back,” and took the opportunity to thank Juan Román Riquelme for the opportunity to “be part of his work group” and also the Boca fans for “all the affection they continue to give him.”

To conclude, the former midfielder revealed that he was given the opportunity to continue at the institution, but he did not accept it. “We took several days to try to find a way around it. I was offered to be in another area of the club and I decided not to accept it because I believe it wouldn’t be convenient. That’s life, and it was my turn,” he concluded.
