Atletico Nacional’s Year: A Mixed Bag of Results and a Bet on Coach Bodmer for 2024

Atlético Nacional closed the year without the possibility of even competing for its presence in the grand final of the Colombian League on the last home run date. However, the Antioquia club saved the semester with the Cup title obtained against Millonarios at the Atanasio Girardot, taking into account the changes in coaches that occurred during the year and that ended with the appointment of Jhon Jairo Bodmer, who was in the minor divisions.

The difficult defeat of the green team against Independiente Medellín 0-5 at home, which also led to fan discontent and riots outside the Polideportivo Sur stadium in Envigado, was another great blow for the institution. A certain sector of fans is calling for the head of the young Bogotá coach, who has barely coached 12 games so far this semester.

Atlético Nacional’s decision

According to Diego Rueda, director of El VBar Caracol, the directives hope to close with a victory against Millonarios in Bogotá. However, “no matter what happens,” they will keep the 42-year-old coach in office for next year. “The presidency of Atlético Nacional confirms to us: no matter what happens, even if they lose tomorrow, the ideal is for them to win, they will seek victory, Jhon Jairo Bodmer will continue for 2024, no matter what happens, ‘we believe in him, we are going for it to play and we know that the team is going to move forward.’”

Thus, the Paisa team will bet on a process in which Bodmer will be given time to be able to take the reins forward. One of the objectives for which they chose him in the beginning had to do with his proximity to the minor categories and the ability to work with youth players, to whom he has given a rhythm of competition during his stay at the club. The coach’s performance is 43.59%, with 5 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses.

Nacional will seek to strengthen itself for the 2024 Copa Libertadores, in which it will have to row from behind to be able to reach the group stage, since being champion of the Cup it will go to the previous phase and will have to win in direct series to be able to be in this instance .
