## Review
### Pre-season

On 8 June 2019, young forward Leandro Paradiso was released by Huracán; who claimed he had underperformed in their academy, this drew criticism from fans and the player himself. Omar Alderete was the club's first senior outgoing of the transfer market, with the centre-back completing a move to Swiss football with Basel on 11 June. Adrián Calello was their first reinforcement of 2019–20, as the defensive midfielder returned to the club after a one-season stint away with Banfield. Leonel Müller agreed his departure from Huracán on 20 June to Defensores de Belgrano, with Manuel Falón also leaving to go to Sacachispas. On 21 June, defensive duo Christian Chimino and Federico Mancinelli made it four departing players after penning terms with domestic rivals Patronato.
Israel Damonte was signed by fellow top-flight team Banfield on 24 June. Huracán played their first pre-season fixtures on 26 June, subsequently experiencing a three-goal victory and a one-goal defeat at the Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó to Argentinos Juniors. Forward Tomás Molina was allowed to leave hours later, signing a deal with Brown. Globo penned a contract with Gonzalo Bettini from Rosario Central on 27 June.

Huracán failed to beat Defensa y Justicia in two friendlies on 3 July.
Fernando Pellegrino, who had left on 30 June following the expiration of his temporary contract, rejoined Huracán on a fresh season-long loan deal on 5 July. On the same day, Racing Club duo Mariano Bareiro and Martín Ojeda also came in on loan. A win and a draw arrived in friendlies with Ferro Carril Oeste on 6 July.
