Argentine football coaching and refereeing issues
Overview
The Argentine football landscape is experiencing instability characterized by high coaching turnover and ongoing debates regarding officiating. In the Primera División, the resignation of Guillermo Duró at Deportivo Riestra contributed to a total of 28 coaching departures in the top flight during 2026.
Controversy surrounding refereeing has persisted, particularly leading up to the Superclásico between Boca Juniors and River Plate. While Boca Juniors president Juan Román Riquelme suggested that “it is easier to blame a referee,” Boca Juniors coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena later dismissed heated debates regarding officiating as “repetitive nonsense,” calling for a fair performance to ensure matches are decided by players.
