The incident occurred during Racing Club's 0-2 defeat to River Plate in the 13th round of the Argentine National League on April 14th. The 36-year-old central defender was found to have struck defender Lucas Martinez Quarta in the face, forcing the referee to issue a direct red card.
However, things didn't stop there. Instead of leaving the pitch, Rojo lost his temper, got into an argument, and insulted the referee before heading into the tunnel.
After reviewing the report, the organizers decided to suspend Rojo for four matches. This is a major blow to Racing Club, as the team has relied heavily on his experience since signing a free transfer from Boca Juniors in August 2025.
However, Rojo's disciplinary issues have become a major concern. After 15 appearances for Racing Club, he has received two red cards. Notably, the latest card brings Rojo's total number of red cards in his career to 13, reflecting the controversial playing style of the central defender.
Joining Manchester United in 2014 for €20 million, Rojo made 122 appearances, winning titles such as the FA Cup, League Cup, and Europa League. Surprisingly, during his time at Old Trafford, he was never sent off. In 2021, Rojo left England to return to Boca Juniors for a fee of €6 million.
At the end of his career, with his contract with Racing Club expiring next June, Rojo's future is in serious doubt. His recent uncontrolled behavior could cause clubs to think carefully before giving the veteran defender another chance.
