Colón: Two new scouts join the project to work alongside Diego Colotto | OneFootball

The arrival of Diego Colotto to Colón as manager next Tuesday afternoon promises more than one novelty. He will land with his own work structure, designed for a club that needs a deep reconstruction and accurate decisions from day one.

The management has already done its part: José Alonso confirmed that there are two scouting members incorporated into the project, and both will have key roles in identifying players for the squad that will compete in the Primera Nacional 2026, a tournament that allows no room for error and demands a surgical search.

Internationally Experienced Analyst for Colón

One of the names already working for the Sabalero is Lautaro Crispino, who has a broad and diverse career in Villa San Carlos, Quilmes, Patronato, the Venezuelan National Team, and some clubs in Europe.

Crispino is also a licensed coach, an advantage that allows him to analyze profiles from an integrated tactical perspective. His experience in non-traditional markets adds a differential component for a category where opportunities often appear "off the radar."

He will be one of the main eyes of the Colotto project on a daily basis in Santa Fe, and his role will be to detect profiles compatible with the competitive, physical, and emotional style demanded by the Primera Nacional.

A Remote Scout for Colón

The other scout incorporated is Francisco Alonso Kegreis, who will have a strategic role: closely monitoring the Buenos Aires market, the region where most footballers move and where short-term opportunities often arise. His career includes: Montevideo City Torque, Excursionistas, Quilmes, and Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata.

With experience in different structures, Kegreis combines a perspective with deep knowledge of AMBA football and its surroundings, a key area for detecting players adaptable to the dynamics of promotion.

Colotto's idea is clear: professionalize the search, avoid past recruitment errors, and build a squad with common sense on the field. For this, a deep conversation with Ezequiel Medrán will be the first step, but the scouting work will be the pillar supporting the team's formation. Colón aims for a cycle where each reinforcement is studied, validated, and contextualized.
