World football continues to mourn the departure of Miguel Ángel Russothe “technician of all”.
In Colombia, the Argentine is loved and remembered for becoming champion with Millionaires against its biggest rivals: Santa Fe in the 2017-ll League and National Athletic in the 2018 Super League, all this while facing chemotherapy treatments for prostate and bladder cancer.
In addition to this, in his more than 35-year career as a coach, he coached several Colombian soccer players. One of the closest and dearest to the Argentine coach was Jaminton Campazwho shared a farewell message that moved everyone.
Campaz's message to Russo
From the Colombian team's concentration ahead of the friendlies against Mexico and Canada, the 25-year-old attacker mentioned: “My old man, my Pai, how I'm going to miss you. What a void you leave for those of us who love you and truly care for you. Thank you for teaching me everyday life“Thank you for making me a better person, thank you for teaching me the way of good football and life.”
“I love you my Pai, I'm going to miss you with that smile you kept, always happy with life. You enjoyed football a lot and I remember your last words: “Enjoy my little bug.”“commented Campaz, who was champion with Russo of the Argentine League Cup with Rosario Central in 2023.
“I'm going to miss you, my old man. The breakfasts, when we trained in the giant. The lunches, when you told me: 'let's eat seafood'. How are you going to leave me? Rest in peace, dad. A lot of strength for your whole family, my old man. You leave us a void. God, take good care of my Pai. Thank you for everything, my dad.”
Campaz and Russo met again for the last time on September 14 of this year at the Gigante de Arroyito stadium, during the 1-1 draw between Rosario Central and Boca Juniors.
On that occasion, the entire Rosario team came to greet the coach warmly. Jaminton Campaz hugged him twice, a gesture that reflected the closeness and affection between them.
Falcao also joined: “My admiration and respect always, teacher. I had the honor of facing you and you leave as great as you are. RIP.”
