This saturday, National Athletic surprised public opinion by issuing a statement in which announced the departure of coach Alexandre Guimaraes. They did not forgive the Brazilian for not winning any of the tournaments in which he directed the ‘purslane’ team: the Colombia Cup, the BetPlay League and that he did not qualify for the knockout stages of the Copa Libertadores.
That is why now all the fans of the Paisa team are wondering at this time which are the coaches that the club’s leadership is taking into account to replace Guimaraes.
The list of candidates was delivered by the journalist Jorge Bermúdez, who is usually well informed of the incidents of several of the most important clubs in Colombian football. According to the information shared by the releases, Two Colombians and two foreigners appear in the deck of names evaluated by the ‘verdolagas’ executives.
The Colombian technicians who, according to Bermúdez, are optioned to occupy the green bench are: Leonel Alvarez Y Alexis Garcia. Leonel is the favorite of the fans and most of them have supported him in large numbers in different polls that have become known on the subject on social networks.
The journalist added that one of the foreigners who for quite some time has been liked by the directors of Nacional is the Uruguayan Pablo Repetto, who currently directs Liga de Quito in Ecuador, but that could leave that club in the next few days. The Uruguayan has won three titles with that team and was runner-up in the 2016 Copa Libertadores with Independiente del Valle, which the Colombian team won that year.
The last candidate, according to Bermúdez, is the Argentine Eduardo Domínguez, that this Friday he was crowned champion of the Argentine League Cup with Colón de Santa Fe, which became the first title in the history of that club. The journalist pointed out that Domínguez has also been observed for months by green managers.
However, the chances of the Argentine leaving Colón after being crowned champion and having his participation in the next Copa Libertadores guaranteed seem minimal.
