FOOTBALL – BOCA Juniors players, officials and fans gathered at La Bombonera stadium yesterday to honour their former coach Miguel Angel Russo, who passed away following a prolonged battle with cancer.
Captain Edinson Cavani, Spaniard Ander Herrera and the rest of the Boca squad, along with club president Juan Roman Riquelme joined Russo’s family at the service held in the main hall of the stadium.
“He asked to be laid to rest on Boca’s field, he was dressed as a Boca player, and we were told that it was his wish,” Dalma, one of Diego Maradona’s daughters, told the local press.
