José Alonso is stepping up the search for Colón’s new head coach after the decision to bring Ezequiel Medrán’s spell in charge to an end. While the club’s board works to resolve the succession as soon as possible, the name that most appeals to the president is Facundo Sava.
However, the “Colorado” is not the main option, since he is currently in charge of Sarmiento de Junín, a situation that complicates the timeline and makes an immediate resolution difficult. Sava’s continuity with the Buenos Aires Province side is the main obstacle to his taking over at El Sabalero, which is why, as things stand today, he would be the third option.
Given this scenario, two names are gaining more and more traction with the club’s leadership. Iván Delfino, who has already had a spell at the institution and knows the Colón environment, and Leandro Gracián appear as the strongest alternatives if negotiations for Sava do not prosper.
At this time, both Delfino and “Tano” Gracián are the leading candidates to replace Ezequiel Medrán. José Alonso and sporting director Diego Colotto’s intention is to define the team’s new manager as quickly as possible in order to begin preparing for the next Primera Nacional fixture and get the promotion push back on track.
