Crisis
Market14 Sep 2026
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Huracán they have already started talking about him in the past tense.
Match12 Sep 2026
4 matches without a win for Huracán
The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Huracán are no longer polite ones.
Squad14 Sep 2026
A row about effort at Huracán
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Leonardo Gil was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
The manager makes an example of Juan Bisanz
“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.
Match12 Sep 2026
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
Boardroom14 Sep 2026
Doors closed at Huracán
The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.
Squad14 Sep 2026
13 new faces, and Huracán are still learning each other
A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.
Player ratings14 Sep 2026
Successful dribbles: 13. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
Squad7 Sep 2026
Words at Huracán training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Leonardo Gil 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.
Squad7 Sep 2026
14 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.
Squad7 Sep 2026
Lautaro Mora is the month’s best young player
At 21 he was better than everybody his age in the division for four weeks running, which is harder than one good afternoon. Huracán will try not to make too much of it.
The dugout7 Sep 2026
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ignacio Pussetto, and the manager let it.
Squad7 Sep 2026
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Huracán this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
The dugout7 Sep 2026
Jordy Caicedo has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Huracán will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.
Market7 Sep 2026
“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
The dugout7 Sep 2026
Lucas Blondel asks for a word with the manager
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.
Player ratings31 Aug 2026
Martín Soto, 18, plays like he has been here for years — 7.82
A mark of 7.82 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 18-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.
Market31 Aug 2026
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
Market31 Aug 2026
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Huracán is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

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

A falling-out at Huracán
Nahuel Maldonado and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

A row about effort at Huracán
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Guillermo Enrique was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Match29 Aug 2026
1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
The dugout31 Aug 2026
“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 1‑1 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Squad24 Aug 2026
2 kept out from twelve yards, and a stadium that will describe each of them for twenty years. A goalkeeper needs one night like this in a career, and this was it.
Match19 Aug 2026
The cup run ends for Huracán
0‑0 against Estudiantes, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.
Market24 Aug 2026
Granada come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Huracán did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
Market24 Aug 2026
Cristian Núñez has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Huracán they have already started talking about him in the past tense.
Boardroom24 Aug 2026
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.

0‑2 to Banfield, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Chances created: 14. The column nobody reads carried the whole story of the match, and his name was at the top of it.

Lautaro Mora, 21, steals the show — 8.03
Marked 8.03 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.
Market17 Aug 2026
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Patricio Pizarro will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Huracán the goodbyes have quietly begun.
Boardroom17 Aug 2026
There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Patricio Pizarro has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Words at Huracán training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Leonardo Gil 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.
Market17 Aug 2026
The name of Sebastián Meza has come up in conversations Huracán were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
The terraces17 Aug 2026
At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
Match15 Aug 2026
There is a particular helplessness in conceding 2 times before the twentieth minute. Gimnasia La Plata tried to reorganise, Huracán did not allow it, and the result was written long before it was confirmed.
Squad17 Aug 2026
Words exchanged at Huracán
Martín Nervo 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.

Hernán Galíndez 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 terraces10 Aug 2026
He is 18 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.

Three points for Huracán, 1‑0 the final word against Racing Club in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Guillermo Enrique 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.
Squad10 Aug 2026
Huracán are still strangers to each other
13 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.
The dugout10 Aug 2026
“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Pablo Ibáñez on a 1‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

12 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Juan Bisanz knocks on the manager’s door
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Juan Bisanz trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
