Flores reunites with ex-pupil for a hilarious Córdoba interview | OneFootball

The cycle of Diego Flores at the helm of Instituto de Córdoba began on the right foot. In a packed Monumental de Alta Córdoba, "the Translator" had an ideal debut as the head coach of Gloria by securing a victory against Central Córdoba of Santiago del Estero. The team displayed bursts of good football and solidity, allowing the fans to dream about the new football project.

However, the most emotional and curious moment of the day did not occur on the field, but in the press conference room. While Flores was analyzing the tactical performance of his team, an exchange of glances interrupted the sports analysis to give way to a personal anecdote that quickly went viral on social media.

It all happened when journalist Santi Sanz took the microphone to ask his question. Upon identifying him, the brand-new coach of Instituto couldn't hide his surprise and, with a smile, recognized the young man in front of everyone: Sanz had been his student years ago at Taborín school. "Santi Sanz!" exclaimed Flores, recalling his past in the classrooms of Córdoba before making the definitive leap to professional football.

This encounter highlighted the human side of a coach who, after a long journey as an assistant and strategist, returns to his homeland to lead the red-and-white team. The victory against the "Ferroviario" not only provides him with peace of mind to work during the week but also confirms the good harmony between the coaching staff and an environment that welcomed him with open arms.
