Despite entering the group of eight with the tie against Envigado, for the seventh date in the BetPlay II-2022 League, Atlético Nacional does not rule out having a deck of candidates to succeed Hernán Darío Herrera on the purslane team’s technical bench . Having won the League in the first semester, bought time for the Arriero, but the team’s way of playing is not convincing and that has generated criticism from public opinion.
However, the new president of Nacional, Mauricio Navarro, assured that there is “total support” for the coach from Antioquia. Although they already look out of the corner of their eyes at what is coming in the Copa Libertadores and to implement that plan, they could evaluate a change of command. Next, we share some possible replacements for Herrera.
Peter Sarmiento
He arrived this semester as technical assistant to Hernán Darío Herrera, they are brothers-in-law and beyond the family relationship, Sarmiento is a coach who returned to Nacional, now from the technical part to contribute in defensive matters. Although the results in this regard are not good, if he takes over as the manager, he could give the team a different imprint.
santiago escobar
Every time there are rumors of change for the technical part, his name appears, whether or not he has a job. He has had two cycles as National coach, in both he was successful, both in 2005 and 2011 where the team won a League and cut a streak of several years without being a champion. Escobar has been in several championship games at the Atanasio Girardot stadium watching the team and we must not forget that, thanks to his management, the purslane brought in 2012 the base of the team that conquered the continent in 2016. In his last teams, the results were opposite, he made a great campaign with the Catholic University of Quito, but in Chile, with the University of Chile, the bad results got him out.
Raphael Dudamel
The Venezuelan was champion with Deportivo Cali, he is the profile of a coach and despite the fact that the sugar team did not come out in the best way, it is another name that would be in the pipeline to replace Herrera. If he arrives, it would be his second team directing in Colombia and a new opportunity to show his abilities.
Reinaldo Wheel
To the liking of the directors and although his contribution level is high, they would make an attempt to bring him. The Valle del Cauca had a memorable time in Nacional, winning local titles, the second Copa Libertadores in 2016 and his name was on the golden pages of the Antioquia team. He had an offer from Germany that did not materialize in this transfer market.
