González, a former Argentine midfielder and experienced manager, takes over with the immediate task of stabilizing results.

Replacing Hoyos during a rough patch signals urgency from the ownership group, and the new man will need to quickly impose tactical clarity on a squad built around Messi. The next few matches will likely define whether the board's patience with the appointment is warranted.
