Buenos Aires, Argentina (Best E Casino) - River Plate named Angel Cappa its new coach Tuesday to replace Leonardo Astrada, who was fired Monday.

River Plate has just three wins through 14 matches this season, and lost four of its last five games under Astrada during a five-game winless streak. River Plate tied last-place and winless Tucuman 0-0 on Sunday.

Cappa led Huracan to second place in the Clausura in 2009.
