This isn't happy reading.
Just back from 3 weeks in Buenos Aires, seeing my family.
Lots of them and their friends are big and (some) influential Independiente fans.
For those who might not realise, Independiente are a massive massive club out here (probably the equivalent of Arsenal in England).
But they are a club in turmoil, in real danger of relegation this season (in Argentina relagation is based on performance in the last 6 "mini-seasons").
Their manager has resigned, having been (he claims) pressurised out of the job by the fans.
Rumour is rife that Independiente they are genuinely interested in Gus/Mauricio taking on the role. I know, as a fact, that there has been contact with at least one of them. Cash isn't a problem for Independiente; their budget is (unlike many clubs in Argentina) robust. They've just opened a new stadium and (despite their on field problems domestically) won the S. American version of the Europa League last season.
Obviously Gus and Mauricio are very tuned in to Independientes positioning in world football. For them and their families this would be a prestigious appointment to one of South Americas most famous and historically successful clubs.
I'm serious; this isn't head in the sand time. I think the next few weeks are going to be massive for our club.
Please stay Gus and Mauricio.
