Boca Juniors named Miguel Angel Russo as their new manager just four days ago and now it appears Ricardo LaVolpe could be Russo's replacement at Velez Sarsfield.

LaVolpe resigned as Boca manager after the his team lost its final three matches including the one-game playoff with Estudiantes for the title.

Russo managed Velez Sarsfield to a 6th place finish in the 2006 Apertura.

In another odd turn, Colo Colo manager Claudio Borghi says he rejected the Boca job earlier this month.

The boss of the Copa Sudamericana runners-up was quoted as saying, "I had to travel and leave Colo Colo immediately, abandoning the players..." something he was unwilling to do.
