Former footballer Bruno Marioni revealed that Juan Román Riquelme was about to play in the MX League, more precisely He said the Argentine agreed to play for Atlas.
In an interview for YouTube channel MX South America, Bruno Marioni claimed that he was close to becoming sporting director of Atlas once he retired from the courts, and that he had already verbally agreed with Juan Román Riquelme to be part of the rojinegro team.
But neither of them happened because Marioni didn’t end up as the director of the foxes and Riquelme didn’t make it to the Atlas.
“It’s the first time I’ve said it. I was about to be an Atlas manager when I retired, a year later, I think, and I called Roman and he said, “Yeah, maybe,” and I said, wow, what madness, we hope. Well, in the end I wasn’t a sports director and Riquelme didn’t come to Mexico, but of course I imagined him playing in Mexico and breaking it in Mexico, “said Pumas and Pachuca. .
Bruno Marioni retired in 2010 after serving as a member of Estudiantes Tecos, and a year later would have sought the arrival of Juan Román Riquelme, the legend of Boca Juniors, for Atlas.
