Alejandro Trionfini is the brand-new coach of Unión's Reserve team, a position he assumes after spending some time working abroad. In an interview at the Radio GOL 96.7 FM studios during the ADN morning show, he shared details about his return to the club.

Trionfini, who had previously been with the institution as the youth coordinator from 2014 to 2017, emphasized the importance of returning to his region: "it's a club I love, that I feel connected to, coming back to my region, returning to my loved ones, returning to my people, it has a beautiful project."

The coach spoke about the peculiarities of his career, which are not always planned, and how this opportunity came about: "Our career has those aspects that one doesn't expect, that one doesn't plan, because it wasn't in the plan, but the planets align for things to happen at the right time."

Regarding his previous experience in the Dominican Republic and Uruguay, where he managed professional teams and youth national teams, he mentioned: "I've been outside the country for eight years, six and a half in the Dominican Republic and a little over a year in Uruguay, working." During his time in the Caribbean, he had the opportunity to work with the U-20 National Team, a "beautiful project."

When talking about his identity as a professional and his role in the reserve team, which is the step before the first division, Trionfini stated: "in essence, I am a football coach because that's how I started, the first option I have as a coordinator is with Nico Fruto to coordinate the youth teams." He added that the reserve "is the necessary and obligatory step between the youth divisions and the first division."

Trionfini's technical staff includes collaborators who were already with Nicolás Vazzoler, who was promoted to Leonardo Madelón's technical team. The collaborators are Francisco "Pancho" Vazzoler and Juan de Olivera as assistant coaches, and Matías Trionfini as the physical trainer, who is also his son.
