Exclusive: Colotto says only committed players stay at Colón | OneFootball

Diego Colotto, sports director of Colón, provided details on the program "La Doce" of Radio Gol 96.7 about the ambitious project he leads alongside the coaching staff and management, with the goal of achieving promotion to the top tier of Argentine football.

Management Balance and Style of Play

Colotto, who took on his role in December 2025, expressed his satisfaction with the work done so far. "Yes, yes, we are happy." The project focuses on the comprehensive restructuring of the team and youth areas, with full support from the management.

Regarding the First Division team, the goal is clear:"we will try to make the team an organized, intense, leading team, reflecting things that people feel identified with what they see."

Continuity of Ezequiel Medrán and the Technical Secretariat

The decision to keep Ezequiel Medrán as coach was consensual, as he shares the vision of restructuring the team. Colotto highlighted the importance of continuity in work processes.

The technical secretariat, composed of three people, works on market analysis, comparisons, and statistics. The joint work with the coaching staff is crucial for decision-making.

The Transfer Market and Specific Cases

Regarding the transfer market, Colotto stated that the club will continue working until the last day. On Nahuel Curcio's loan move, he explained: "Nahuel expressed his desire to take this experience abroad." The player extended his contract for another year and went on loan with a purchase option.

In the case of Kevin López, who ultimately signed with San Martín de Tucumán, the manager was blunt:"players who want to come to Colón and respect that stay, and those who might have doubts or different thoughts can leave, there's no problem."

The Future of Ignacio Lago and the Club's Infrastructure

On Ignacio Lago's contractual situation, Colotto praised his professionalism:"how Nacho behaves is exemplary because he hasn't changed his stance despite not having renewed." The sports director is confident that the renewal will be agreed upon "as soon as possible for the peace of mind of both parties."

Finally, regarding the club's facilities, Colotto valued the current structure as"very good." However, he projects long-term improvements to generate greater identity and comprehensive training, such as building a school within the premises for the 300 kids who are part of the club.
