Millonarios lost on Wednesday night by a score of 2-1 against Deportivo Pasto and thus the crisis of results at the start of the 2026 season deepened even further. And after that adverse result, after the first three dates of the Colombian Soccer League, the Bogotá club confirmed that Hernán Torres was no longer the coach, in a press release issued after midnight.
“Millonarios FC informs that Professor Hernán Torres will not continue as Technical Director of the team. We recognize the teacher for his professionalism, delivery and dedication during this stage in the club. Without a doubt, his name will continue to be highly respected in the history of our institution. We wish you the best in your future plans. Thank you always, Professor Hernán,” the official note read.
Torres himself went to the press conference in Pasto and did not speak anything about a possible departure from the capital’s technical bench. and he even argued that the defeat was basically due to the expulsion of Mateo García, in the first half, and he even assured that his team had played well.
Millionaires.
The ‘ambassadors’ fell against Bucaramanga, on a visit, and against Junior de Barranquilla, in the El Campín stadium itself, unleashing criticism from the media and the general unrest of the fans, who after the fall in Nariño territory flooded the social networks with comments against the Tolimense professional, who found neither tactical functioning nor football after several months of work.
Now it is expected that managers will work on hiring a new helmsman and unofficially the names of Argentines Ariel Holan and Gustavo Alvarez have emerged, in addition to Venezuelan Rafael Dudamel.
When does Millonarios play again?
Millonarios will have action again next Sunday, February 1, when they host Medellín on the field of the El Campín stadium, on the fourth date of the League, at 8:30 at night. This duel will confront two clubs that have been in a crisis of results at the beginning of Colombian football.
