Barros Schelotto to part ways with Boca after Copa Libertadores defeat to River

Boca Juniors president Daniel Angelici has confirmed that the Copa Libertadores final defeat against River Plate was coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto's last game in charge of the Buenos Aires giants.

Having drawn the first leg of the much-hyped 'Superfinal' 2-2 at the Bombonera, Boca and River were then forced to play the return in Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu due to violent incidents at the Monumental, River's home.

On Sunday Boca once more took the lead through Dario Benedetto, only to see Lucas Pratto, Juan Quintero and Gonzalo Martinez seal a 3-1 comeback victory for the Millonario after extra time.
