Will Marcelo Escudero be the next permanent manager of River Plate?

Marcello Gallardo announced his resignation as River Plate’s manager on February 23, 2026 (see: https://www.beinsports.com/en-us/soccer/liga-profesional-argentina/articles/official-marcelo-gallardo-will-step-down-as-river-plate-manager-this-week-2026-02-24) This market will resolve according to the person who is appointed as the next permanent manager of Club Atletico River Plate by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. If no next permanent manager of Club Atletico River Plate is appointed by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, the market will resolve to "Other." Appointments of 'interim,' 'caretaker,' or other non-permanent managers will not impact this market's resolution. An announcement of a new permanent manager's appointment before this market's resolution date will immediately resolve this market to the corresponding option, regardless of when the announced appointment goes into effect. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Club Atletico River Plate; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
