Argentine football is in tears as Miguel Ángel Russo, Boca Juniors’ iconic manager and 1986 World Cup hero, passes at 69 after an eight-year fight with cancer. The maestro, who returned to Boca in 2025, lit up pitches with titles at Lanús (2007 Apertura), Estudiantes (2010 Sudamericana), Vélez (1993 Clausura), Rosario Central (1995 Clausura), and Millonarios (2017 Colombia), bossing 1,000+ games with pure grit. A 400-game Estudiantes midfielder, Russo’s warm, player-first vibe crafted dynasties. Boca’s tribute nails it: “Joy, warmth, dedication.” RealBet extends deepest condolences to Russo’s family, friends, and fans—your legacy, maestro, burns bright forever in football’s soul. Rest in glory.
