The River Plate club has a faturamento superior to R$ 1 billion, according to Globo Esporte Futebol. The club's financial success has not been translating to on-pitch results, with the team failing to win a title since 2024. The club's recent elimination in the Copa Sul-Americana has led to the departure of coach Eduardo Coudet.
The club's financial success is due to its good commercial exploitation of the Monumental de Núñez stadium, which will be able to hold 101,000 people from 2029, and a strong membership plan. However, the club's recent signings have not been successful, with only two of the five players contracted last year being part of the starting lineup. The club has also been criticized for its poor management of its resources, with the team's recent signings not providing the expected return on investment.
The club's recent signings have been expensive, with Thiago Almada, the club's most expensive signing, costing almost R$ 180 million. However, Almada has not been performing well, with only one assist in four games. The club's other signings, including Ángel Correa and Rafael Borré, have also not been successful, with Correa being the only one to have made a positive impact.
The club's recent struggles have led to protests from fans, who are demanding better results from the team. The club's new coach, Leonardo Ponzio, will have a difficult task in turning the team's fortunes around, with the pressure on him to deliver results being immense.
