Colotto and Alonso meet, Colón close to naming sporting director | OneFootball

After an extensive "very positive" meeting in Rosario led by José Alonso, the appointment of Diego Colotto as the sports manager of Colón is practically a done deal. Both parties showed great willingness to work together, and only formal details remain before the contract is signed.

According to Radio Gol, the club's president-elect met with Colotto to advance the formation of the new football structure of the "Sabalero." The discussions, which lasted about five hours and covered all topics related to the project that the incoming leaders described as "big," concluded moments ago with excellent feelings, paving the way for the former footballer to take on a key role in the club's technical department.

Now, the process will continue with internal discussions at Colón and with the current technical department to finalize the details of the agreement. If everything goes as expected, preparations for the signing of the contractual agreement will proceed.

Colotto, a former defender with an extensive international career and previous experience as a manager at Quilmes and in the technical department of Independiente, is seen as a "serious" profile with a "good radar" for sports management. His arrival aims to consolidate the project of the new management, which also confirmed Ezequiel Medrán as the head coach of the professional team.

The role of sports director will be mandatory for First Division and First National clubs starting next season, and Colón seeks to get ahead of the regulation with this imminent hiring.
