Match12 Sep 2026

No end in sight to Estudiantes's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Estudiantes has to find a result from somewhere.

Match12 Sep 2026

No clean sheets in sight for Estudiantes

5 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Estudiantes lose Manuel Sánchez de León

74 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Delfor Minervino falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match12 Sep 2026

Mitre take the points off Estudiantes

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market14 Sep 2026

One of our own: Julián Lucero joins the Estudiantes first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Julián Lucero is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at Estudiantes

Federico Sena and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Brian Farioli

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Brian Farioli, and the manager let it.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑2 Gustavo Peralta left the room before anybody could ask which.

Market7 Sep 2026

Ian Vera agrees terms with Picerno

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Estudiantes people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market7 Sep 2026

Lucas Varela hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Estudiantes can pretend not to have heard.

Match5 Sep 2026

4 matches without a win for Estudiantes

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Estudiantes are no longer polite ones.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at Estudiantes

Rodrigo Melo and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Tomás Blanco signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Tomás Blanco commits to Estudiantes for another 4 years.

Match5 Sep 2026

Estudiantes are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 4 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

The terraces7 Sep 2026

One of their own: Román Rodríguez

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

One of those days for Román Rodríguez

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.28, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words at Estudiantes training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Franco Quinteros is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Estudiantes can pretend not to have heard.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Delfor Minervino in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Estudiantes this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Franco Fagúndez falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match8 Aug 2026

Franco Fagúndez’s goal not enough for Estudiantes

Franco Fagúndez scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Chaco For Ever, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Market10 Aug 2026

Bruno Ferrari steps up from the Estudiantes academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Bruno Ferrari has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market10 Aug 2026

Estudiantes promote José Godoy from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. José Godoy has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Gabriel Campos joins the Estudiantes first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Gabriel Campos is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Estudiantes

16 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Gustavo Peralta to a room that had heard them before.

In brief
