Argentine football has been shaken by completely unexpected news. San Lorenzo de Almagro’s leadership reached a lightning-fast agreement for Spaniard Iker Muniain to become the club’s new head coach ahead of the upcoming challenges in the local championship.

A swift deal driven by the coach’s eagerness

Following the departure of the previous manager, El Ciclón’s board moved quickly and chose the former Athletic Club player. Negotiations progressed at an astonishing pace due to the Basque idol’s strong desire to take on this major challenge in South American football, a land he has always said he deeply admires.

Muniain is expected to pack his bags and travel to Argentina in the coming days to officially put pen to paper. His main objective will be to immediately take charge of the first team to lead the demanding preseason work and shape his own footballing identity within the blue-and-red side.
