Tevez is stepping in after the sudden resignation of boss Diego Cocca and his entire coaching staff.
The 49-year-old is no stranger to making headlines, but even by his standards, this is a bold new chapter — with the club currently sitting 14th in Zone B of the Argentine top division.
Fresh off his four-goal heroics in the star-studded charity match in Manchester, he now takes the reins of the Albiazul with the full backing of the board.
A club statement read:”Following the resignation of Diego Cocca and his technical staff, the board has made the decision to appoint Tevez as the new Technical Director.”
The Argentine icon previously managed Rosario Central in 2022 and Independiente in 2023, and now returns to the dugout with big ambitions — and even bigger expectations.
The main aim will be to keep the team in the top flight of the Argentine football pyramid.
His first training session with the squad will be held immediately at the Amadeo Nuccetelli High-Performance Sports Center.
He begins the task of turning around a side desperate for survival — and dreaming of future silverware.

The club admitted it’s been a “difficult day” following Cocca’s shock exit, but Tevez’s appointment has already lifted the mood around the camp.
And with the kind of firepower he showed at Soccer Aid — not to mention his trophy-laden career in England and Argentina — fans will be hoping Tevez can inspire Talleres to become contenders once again.
Tevez is best remembered in the Premier League for several iconic moments — including saving West Ham from relegation in the 2006/2007 season.
He also formed a formidable trio with Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United, helping the club win two Premier League titles and the Champions League.
Later, he controversially became a key member of the Manchester City team that won their first league title in 44 years.
