Marcelo Gallardo Starts Ecuador Role Ahead of South Korea Trip

Marcelo Gallardo has begun a new assignment with Ecuador, taking charge of a first training session as La Tri prepare for an away visit to South Korea.

A new chapter after River

The Argentine coach arrives following a demanding second spell at River Plate, where his return to the Buenos Aires club proved more complicated than his celebrated first tenure.

  1. Gallardo completed his second period in charge of River Plate.
  2. He then opened a new challenge with Ecuador’s national team.
  3. The coach led one training session with the Ecuador squad.
  4. Ecuador now turn their attention to a trip to South Korea.

The opening session marked Gallardo’s first work on the training ground with La Tri ahead of the international fixture in Asia.
