Ezequiel Medrán all set to become Emelec's new manager | OneFootball

Ezequiel Medrán is very close to taking on a new challenge in his career. The Argentine coach was chosen by Emelec’s management to become the new head coach of the Ecuadorian club, and everything appears to be in place for him to travel to Ecuador this Thursday, August 27. The move to Ecuadorian football will mark Medrán’s first experience as a coach outside Argentina. His arrival comes after his recent departure from Colón de Santa Fe, where he managed 30 official matches and posted an even record of 10 wins, 10 draws, and 10 losses. The coach’s spell with El Sabalero began in August 2025 and ended at the beginning of this month, after a run of results that led the club’s management to decide to end his contract. Although Colón was among the top teams in the Primera Nacional, the team’s performances in the final stretch ultimately weakened Medrán’s chances of staying on. Before his time in Santa Fe, the 44-year-old coach managed Central Norte de Salta, Atlético de Rafaela, and Gimnasia de Mendoza. With the latter, he reached the final of the promotion playoff for a place in the First Division, building a career path that will now have its first international chapter. At Emelec, Medrán will have the task of turning the team’s current situation around and sparking an immediate response in the LigaPro. His arrival will come after the departure of Cristian Nasuti, who had initially taken over as interim coach and was later confirmed in the role.
