Estudiantes de La Plata under Medina

Entities: Alexander Medina · Estudiantes de La Plata · Guido Carrillo · Argentine Primera División · Racing Club

Overview

In late July 2026, newly‑appointed coach Alexander Medina publicly criticised his Estudiantes side after a 2‑0 defeat to Racing Club, citing a lack of concentration and poor officiating. He announced several lineup changes, including moving Tomás Palacios to central defence, adding Gastón Benedetti to the back‑line and reinstating Fernando Muslera in goal, while noting possible departures and injuries affecting the squad.

A week later, Medina prepared the team for a crucial Clausura match against Defensa y Justicia. The upcoming fixture was presented as an opportunity to secure Estudiantes’ first three points of the season, silence early criticism and restore confidence. Medina’s tactical focus on solid defence and quick attacking transitions was highlighted as the club sought to reverse its slow start and meet season ambitions.
