Former Argentine player and current coach of Independiente, Carlos Tevez, was admitted to a hospital on Tuesday after experiencing severe chest pain, prompting him to undergo tests that turned out satisfactory.

"Our coach, Carlos Tevez, was admitted to Sanatorio La Trinidad de San Isidro -in Buenos Aires province- with chest pain. He underwent the necessary tests and the results were satisfactory," the Avellaneda-based club stated through its social media.

The club also explained that on Wednesday, the 'Apache' will continue with a series of pre-scheduled exams as part of a general health check-up.

The incident involving the former Boca Juniors, Manchester City, and Juventus player occurred a week after the team failed to advance to the quarterfinals of the Argentine Copa de la Liga, with Tevez being one of the most criticized figures within the Avellaneda-based club, where he arrived last August.

Local media speculated that the international player, who won a gold medal in Athens 2004 with the Albiceleste, could leave the Avellaneda-based club despite renewing his contract last December until the end of 2026.

Tevez joined Independiente on August 22, 2023, not only halting a series of negative results but also saving the team from the threat of relegation and nearly qualifying for the playoffs in the Copa de la Liga.

The Copa Libertadores winner with Boca and UEFA Champions League winner with English club Manchester United, whose first coaching experience was with Rosario Central the previous season, took charge of Independiente after the departure of Ricardo Zielinski due to poor results.

The start of the current season was very positive, maintaining top positions in the Copa de la Liga, the first tournament of the Professional Football League, but the final matchday result prevented qualification to the title-deciding phase.
