Atlético Tucumán sack Colace, De Felippe tipped to replace him | OneFootball

After the tough defeat against Belgrano in the 7th round of the Torneo Apertura, Atlético Tucumán decided to dismiss the coach, Hugo Colace, after just four months in the position. The management is considering several names to replace him, and one that is strongly rumored is Omar De Felippe, who could have his second stint with the Decano (he was there during 2021, 30 matches).

The northern club announced it through their official social media: "Tomorrow morning he will bid farewell to the professional squad. In the interim, the training will be led by the Reserve division's head coach, Ramiro González, until the new coaching staff is appointed."

"The club thanks Hugo and his entire coaching staff for their commitment, professionalism, and work during their time leading the team, and wishes them the greatest success in their future challenges," the statement concludes.

Colace had arrived in Tucumán to succeed Lucas Pusineri in October of last year and took on the responsibility of securing points to keep the team in the First Division. He ultimately succeeded with a crucial victory against Godoy Cruz and remained in the position, despite his negative record: three matches, one win, and two losses.

This start to 2026 was a continuation. Seven commitments, four losses, two draws, and just one win, the 4-0 thrashing of Estudiantes de Río Cuarto in the fifth round. His effectiveness of 27% and 17 goals conceded in 10 matches led the management to decide to dismiss him.
