According to a statement from Independiente, as reported by the Athletic, “Our coach, Carlos Tevez, entered the La Trinidad Sanatorium in San Isidro with chest pain.

The club provided a second update an hour later, stating, “Carlos Tevez will be hospitalized as a precaution until the corresponding tests are completed.”
The forward, who made 76 appearances for Argentina and played in the 2006 and 2010 World Cup tournaments, retired in June 2022.
He took his first managerial role with Primera Division side Rosario Central later that month before moving to Independiente last summer.
