New Argentinos Juniors coach Pedro Troglio admitted on Sunday that he is excited at the thought of returning to Independiente's Libertadores stadium, as he prepares his 'Bicho' side for a tough clash this evening in Avellaneda.
Troglio coached 'Los Rojos' for almost a year in 2007-08, before losing his job due to a poor start in the 2008 Clausura. And after two years coaching in Paraguay with Cerro Porteno the confessed supporter of Independiente is delighted at the chance to coach there for the first time since losing his job.
"It is a wonderful feeling, I spent a great year at the club. Aside from having to leave as can happen in any club, there were many more nice moments than unpleasant ones and above all I have left many great friends there. It is always great to return," Troglio told Ole on Sunday evening in anticipation of Monday's clash. Both Argentinos and Independiente lost their opening fixtures, and the pressure will be on the teams to start accumulating points before too long.
The Argentinos coach also admitted he can't wait to see the new 'Rojo' stadium, completed in the past year after a long delay.
"It looks fantastic. When I was tecnico there I always had to manage in Racing's stadium. Supposedly it was going to be ready when I was still there."
"The wish was always to direct there, but now I can as the opposition! But that also has it's own special feeling."
