It is no secret to anyone that no technical director or any club have lost the category as a sports project. No one wants to suffer that fall, and even less so in a competition where ascending is not a prize due to the difficulty in the relegation system, because those who go up to the highest division have to row against the current to win the necessary points and not trip on.
There is no bonus besides getting promoted for the lucky ones. On the contrary, they have to ride in a tournament and without the sports and economic infrastructure of other traditional clubs. That is the same case of Cortuluá that opted for a coach like César Torres who previously surprised with campaigns in Alianza Petrolera and Jaguares de Córdoba, but the situation experienced with the heart of the Valley team was not the best.
In 12 matches played, Cortuluá appears at the bottom of the table with just six units out of a possible 36. As if that were not enough, the big bet is to save yourself from relegation, a scenario that is not easy for the Tulueños. Due to these poor results, and with the pressure of leaving uncomfortable positions, César Torres decided to step aside and resigned from the technical bench of the Valle del Cauca team. Torres is already the fourth strategist to leave the bench, joining Grigori Méndez, Juan Cruz Real and Hernán Darío Herrera.
After the departure of César Torres, Cortuluá bets on saving himself from relegation and they are already moving with great speed to work towards that goal. They have already appointed Torres’s successor, who is an old acquaintance of the Tulu team. Fernando Velasco will assume the position for the fourth time, one that in 2009 had a nice outcome managing to become champion of the B and ascending to the First Division.
With the surprising campaign of Unión Magdalena, the panorama of salvation will not be easy at all. Cortuluá will have to add as much as possible on the remaining dates to try to stay in the A, but for this, he will have to be aware of what the samariums and Alianza Petrolera do, one of those who also appears with complications in the relegation zone .
