In search of a new leader: San Lorenzo’s quest for a coach intensifies ahead of Copa Libertadores showdown

11/04/2024 22:09hs.

The departure of Ruben Darío Insua is still pending, but in San Lorenzo they know that they have no time to waste. With 11 days until the momentous duel against Liverpool in Montevideo, the leadership will begin to pick up the phone this Friday to tempt the names they have in their portfolio to take a hot iron and seek to advance in the Copa Libertadores.

An era in which it is as true that the Ciclón went from fighting for permanence to qualifying for two international tournaments in consecutive seasons as it was not able to take a leap in ambition. Reflected in a style criticized for its aesthetics but also for its conservativeness: It is no coincidence that the profile of coach that Moretti management will seek is related to another type of palate. (Luis Zubeldía? Gabriel Heinze? ​​Ariel Holan?). Without this having detracted from the Galician’s silent achievements.

The managers want the next man to sit on the Pedro Bidegain bench to have a clear vision. Which? That of promoting youth from the Inferiores, with an offensive game, always looking at the goal in front and with the goal of having a long-term project, something that is so desired by so many but achieved by very few.

Although Néstor Gorosito is always a fixed name, the CD is not thinking about Pipo at this moment. So sought after in recent years but with no chance of starting a new cycle (he was between 2003 and 2004), the priests consider that it is not yet the time for the club’s idol, beyond the good relationship he has with the president, who was for a long time in charge of the senior team in which the former number 10 of the Barça team knew how to play.

The peculiarity is that the three names that have the most support are out of work. Zubeldía left the Quito League in January, Heinze has not coached since leaving Newell’s at the end of last year and Holan left the Catholic University in mid-2023.

Is there a technician on the horizon?
