Arruabarrena takes charge at ailing Boca Juniors


BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Boca Juniors embark on salvaging their reputation under new coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena against Argentine league leaders Velez Sarsfield on Sunday (2215 BST) having sacked Carlos Bianchi who failed to repeat his past success with the club.

Arruabarrena, a former Boca, Villarreal and Argentina left back, was appointed on Friday to succeed record title-winner Bianchi, who led the club to nine trophies a decade back, but had to go after a dismal 18-month third spell in charge.
