Troglio quits as Argentinos Juniors coach

Boca Juniors stayed top after winning 2-1 at third-placed Lanus and Banfield finally won after losing their opening six matches.

Troglio, who played for Argentina at the 1990 World Cup and becomes the third coaching change in seven rounds of the championships, had been in charge for a year and three months, an eternity in the topsy-turvy world of Argentine coaching.

"The best thing for everyone is for me to leave at this moment... and to clear the air," he told reporters after watching his winless team throw away a two-goal lead in Sunday's match.

Banfield broke their duck with a 1-0 win at All Boys in La Volpe's second game in charge.
