Reports suggest the manager had been under a lot of stress and the chest pain issue is likely to stem from it. Tevez is expected to undergo a string of tests at the Finochietto Hospital in Buenos Aires. Fans will hope the manager can return soon with Independiente going through a tumultuous time.
Clouds of uncertainty over Carlos Tevez’s future
Tevez’s run with Independiente has not gone according to plan, with cracks visible in the ex-Manchester United star’s tenure with the team. The Independiente boss also scrapped his press conference despite the media commitments after his team crashed out of the Argentine Cup earlier this month. Reports suggest the manager is not happy with the direction the team is heading in and could also hand in his resignation if things don’t change within the club.

Independiente are expected to train later this week. However, with Carlos Tevez now hospitalized, the club could be forced to change their plans for the coming weeks. While his assistant manager is expected to fill his role in the coming weeks, the team could be forced to part ways with the manager if his health continues to deteriorate.
Tevez has been a part of Independiente after signing a two-year deal with the club in August 2023. The ex-United star has won 13 of his 29 fixtures leading the club and will look to improve his record in the coming weeks as soon as he can sort out his health issues. Independiente will be in action next month as they take on Talleres Cordoba in an attempt to climb up the points table.
