After arriving at the club he made changes to the squad, shifting the positions of several players who would later prove crucial, and daring to unleash his talented players.Chacarita 69 on El Gráfico. 14 Feb 2008 Geronazzo is regarded as an innovative, restless, and tactical coach, and one of the first to spy on rivals.Y dicen que Bielsa está loco... by Mariano Hamilton at Revista Un Caño Most of their players emerged from the youth divisions plus the addition of Abel Pérez (from Boca Juniors), Rodolfo Orife from Estudiantes de La Plata, and Juan C. Puntonero from Newell's Old Boys. Federico Pizarro then replaced Geronazzo; however, he maintained the team's system and style of play. Thus, without what many would consider star players, but with a collective focused team, Chacarita Juniors began to earn points in the 1969 Metropolitano and ended up sharing the first position in their group with Boca Juniors. Before the semifinal v Racing, Pizarro resigned due to a disagreement with the Chacarita executive committee, being replaced by Víctor Rodríguez, who was the manager in two last matches of the tournament.

I, as coach, absorbed everything and without me they had to mature alone. That's why they were champions". The essential idea of that Chacarita team of '69 was to manage certain situations in a match and to respect the ball. We marked a small era. Because at that time destruction prevailed, and we played freely. We gave a breath of freedom to the skillful players, to those who believed in football as a game. Manager Argentino Geronazzo about his team Regarding the players, Ángel Marcos was the key figure of Chacarita, apart from being considered the best player in the club's history. Another player from the youth divisions, Carlos García Cambón said in 2019: "I was trained by great master Ernesto Duchini. Winning a title in a small club is something wonderful because when you are champion with a big one, the following year it is already forgotten". Speaken of the factors that made Chacarita become a champion, García Cambón stated that Argentino Geronazzo deserved credit for bringing together youth players with the new ones, all under a footballing philosophy that materialized on the pitch in 1969, also praising the executive committee for their support to the team. We were the antithesis of what was happening in our football, because Estudiantes de La Plata had won the championship with their style, which was both praised and criticized. We managed to realize our dream based on good play, pure football, and improvisation.El día que la clase obrera llegó al paraíso: a 50 años de Chacarita campeón by Eduardo Bolaños on infobae.com. 6 Jul 2019 Carlos García Cambón in 2019 Once the match concluded, the bus that was transporting Chacarita players and staff from Avellaneda to General San Martín Partido took almost six hours to complete the trip.
