Por ·

After his stint with Básquet Girona in Spain, the point guard returns to the club where he was a star, captain, and key figure in one of the most successful periods in blue and gold basketball.

Boca Juniors confirms the return of José Pepe Vildoza, who will once again wear the blue and gold jersey following his experience at Básquet Girona in Spain's ACB League. The point guard returns to the institution after a season in Europe and rejoins a project where he was a leader on the court and one of the major driving forces behind the club's sporting growth in recent years.

During his previous stint at Boca, Vildoza left an indelible mark. He was one of the standout figures on the team that won the 2023/24 Liga Nacional championship and the back-to-back title in the 2024/25 season. Additionally, he was part of the rosters that won the Supercopa and Copa Super 20, accumulating a total of four titles wearing the Xeneize jersey.

His impact was also reflected in individual accolades. In the 2024/25 season, he was named MVP of the Liga Nacional regular season, Finals MVP, Best Argentine Player, and selected to the All-Star Five of the competition. Distinctions that confirmed the level of excellence he maintained throughout his time at Boca and solidified him as one of the most decisive players in Argentine basketball.

Now, after achieving the goal of competing in one of Europe's top leagues, Pepe returns home. With prestige, leadership, and a full identification with the blue and gold colors, Boca recovers a player who defined a recent era and who will seek to continue writing important chapters in the club's basketball history.
