CLUB ATLÉTICO BOCA JUNIORS
A Struggle in the Top
![]()
Club Atlético Boca Juniors are one of the most successful football clubs in the Argentine Republic and the world. With 18 international titles, including 3 Intercontinental Cups, 3 Copas Libertadores and 2 Copas Sudamericanas, the Xeneizes share the record of International competitions won with italian club A.C. Milan. The team is a dominant force in its home-country gathering 24 titles in their domestic league and recently restarted Argentine Cup. 
After several periods of success, most notably in the 1960s, 1970s, and more recently, the early 2000s, Boca Juniors enters a new era in their institutional history with the imminent departure of the club's last idol, Juan Roman Riquelme.

Diario Olé:
After a period of deep deliberation from the club's board, Daniel Angelici, President of the Club, and present Boca Juniors manager, Julio Cesar Falcioni, announced the indefinite retirement of Falcioni to the public. Falcioni, who had been on the job since December 2010 managed the team to a very successful 2011-2012 season winning the home League, Cup, and runners-up of the Copa Libertadores losing to Brazilian club, Corinthians.
There is speculation as to who will succeed Falcioni. Many have called former manager during the 2000s "Golden Age, Carlos Bianchi, and the retired Boca idol and current Lanús manager, Guillermo Barros-Schelotto, to take the reigns of a direction-less club.

A very straight-forward Falcioni reminded the press and the public for the need of "steady leadership, for an unsteady club".
