End of an era for Emmanuel Gigliotti at Colón: "I’m at peace with myself"

Emmanuel Gigliotti has officially ended his time at Club Atlético Colón after a 2025 season marked by the team’s institutional and sporting difficulties in the Primera Nacional. His departure comes amid a deep restructuring of the squad ahead of 2026, driven by the new sporting manager Diego Colotto and coach Ezequiel Medrán.

The 38-year-old striker, who arrived at the beginning of 2025 with the goal of returning the team to the top division, ended his spell after reaching an agreement to terminate his contract with the “sabalero” club. Despite scoring 7 goals during the last tournament, the “Puma” admitted that the sporting year did not meet overall expectations.

Through his social media, the footballer shared an emotional farewell letter to the fans:

“I decided to come back, I had felt it for a long time! I was happy, I felt the affection of the people once again. I was also happy to see my children walk onto a completely full stadium and for them to enjoy it, I reconnected with people who love this club, and I also got to know wonderful people whose friendship I will take with me!” “Even though, in sporting terms, it was nothing like I imagined, I tried, I gave it my all, my mind is at ease! I wish you, dear sabalero, to return to where your history says you belong, and your great people deserve it. Thank you.”
