Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez says his former River Plate coach Marcelo Gallardo is ready for Europe.
Gallardo is a free agent after leaving River last year.
"Marcelo helped me a lot. I arrived when I was 18 years old from [a spell at] Real Madrid. In 2019 I didn't play a lot because there were a lot of players," Alvarez recalled to TYC Sport.
"He helped me a lot both as a player and as a person. He doesn't just give football advice.
"Yes, obviously Gallardo is ready to lead in Europe. He proved that in all the years he was at River. I don't know what will cross his mind, but it would be a nice challenge and we all want to see that."
