The Belgrano Gazette
Boardroom10 Aug 2026
Francisco González Metilli has agreed to leave Belgrano for nothing
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.
Squad10 Aug 2026
Lucas Passerini stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Lucas Passerini and Belgrano agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
Squad10 Aug 2026
Tempers go at Belgrano
Franco Vázquez was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Match8 Aug 2026
A bad afternoon for Belgrano against Rosario Central
2‑3 to Rosario Central, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
The dugout10 Aug 2026
The manager makes an example of Adrián Sánchez
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
Player ratings10 Aug 2026
Adrián Sánchez runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Player ratings10 Aug 2026
Ninety minutes of Lucas Passerini at his very best
Marked 8.00. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Belgrano.
The dugout10 Aug 2026
Enzo Ojeda: “No excuses”
“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 2‑3, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.
Market10 Aug 2026
Talks stall between Belgrano and Francisco González Metilli
“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.
