‘With tears in his eyes’: Mauricio Serna’s farewell letter to Boca | OneFootball

Mauricio Serna used his social media to write a heartfelt farewell letter addressed to the fans following his resignation from the Boca Juniors Football Council. El Chicho reflected on his time at the club as a player and during his management alongside Raúl Cascini and Marcelo Delgado.

“I just need to say goodbye to you. Dear friends, dear fans: after so many years of dedication and commitment, the time has come to say goodbye. Boca has been my home, my family. Every moment lived here has been unforgettable. I want to thank you all for the support, the trust, and your friendship,” begins the statement published on his official Instagram account.

Serna, Cascini, and Delgado.

He then continues: “This dream, which hundreds of footballers long to fulfill (playing for Boca, defending the colors of the greatest), for some reason, by the grace of destiny, landed on me, gifting me an opportunity that illuminated my days in a colossal way. I had the privilege of participating in one of the most extraordinary campaigns in the club's history, under Carlos Bianchi and alongside players of the caliber of Córdoba, Bermúdez, Palermo, and the ultimate idol Juan Román Riquelme, among so many wonderful teammates. I was a champion of America, world champion, facing none other than Real Madrid with more than ten thousand of you who traveled to accompany us to Japan. We won local tournaments and other sports competitions representing this wonderful emblem.”

Additionally, Mauricio Serna added: “Dear friends, I arrived on this Argentine soil, with the fear of one who does not know what their future holds, but with the hope of making history with these colors. Thanks to your generosity, your support, and your love for Boca, I have come this far with my family, with my heart swollen with pride and wishing that love keeps our Colombia and Argentina united forever.”

Mauricio Serna resigned from his position at Boca.

To close, Chicho wrote: “Today I step aside. Not because I want to distance myself from the club, I will always be there when needed, I step aside because I gave everything and more and it was not enough, because my love for these colors is immense and because Boca will always, always, be above everything. I sincerely hope the future goes very well and surely we will meet again, this time in the stands, cheering for the greatest in the world, with tears in my eyes, but with the faith that everything will be alright, I say: farewell. I love you very much.”
