“It was true”: Battaglia says Boca sacked him at a petrol station | OneFootball

Sebastián Battaglia gave details about how he was dismissed from Boca Juniors: the coach admitted that he was summoned to a gas station by the Football Council to inform him of the decision.

In an interview with Los Edul, Sebastián Battaglia recalled the moment when he was dismissed from his position as head coach of the Xeneize team in 2022 and confirmed that he was called to that place by the members of the CdF (made up of Casini, Delgado, and Serna). “That’s how it was, I have no reason to hide it, because that’s how it really happened,” explained the Boca idol.

In the same vein, he added: “It hurt me. Now you ask me: would you have liked to leave the way (Martín) Demichelis did—from River Plate—or the way we had to leave? One ends up being greeted by the whole stadium, and we were taken out as if we were the villains of the story, beyond a statement where you might be happy or not, I don’t know, but that’s why it’s a long story. It’s not just about the moment of the statement.”

Then, Sebastián Battaglia elaborated: “The reality is that I was coming back from training in Ezeiza, and that’s when I got a call telling me we would meet there (at the gas station), simple as that.” When asked if he saw it coming, he said yes. “When they call you and tell you that... but I think there could have been other ways of doing it.”
