Out of basically nowhere Newell’s signs another player, ex Boca, Emelec, LDU Quito, Botafogo, and Gimnasia (J) striker Luis Escalada. At Emelec in 06 he scored 29 goals in 40 games. He followed that up with 16 goals in 38 games at Liga de Quito in 07. Below is a (lenghty-ish) video [...]

The Good:

The first game of the season is upon us and I haven’t really mentioned the new staff. So here we go.
Fernando Andres Gamboa - manager
Ricardo Gabriel Lunari - assistant manager
Antonio Farano - trainer
Cesar Jaime - goal keepers coach
Gamboa and Lunari are ex-Newell’s and close to living legends, so the transition with the fans should [...]

I know it is time to move on. Gamboa seems to be earning the respect of the players and appears to be quite the motivator. More on him in another post. I thought I would take one last look back at Caruso’s time with la lepra.
