💣Is Ramón on his way? The club legend linked with Central | OneFootball

Argentine football was shaken by unexpected news: Rosario Central is close to securing the signing of Ramón Díaz as their new head coach for the 2026 season. The sudden departure of Ariel Holan has led the Canalla management to quickly analyze possible replacements, and the experienced coach from La Rioja has emerged strongly as the main candidate.

Holan and a Surprising Decision

The search for a new coach began after Rosario Central announced the departure of Ariel Holan. The club reported, through a brief statement, that both parties decided "by mutual agreement and on good terms, to end the contract that was set to expire at the end of the year," thanking the coach for the Annual Table title. Holan managed 42 matches, with 22 wins, 13 draws, and 7 losses.

Ramón, Close to the Professional League

According to information provided by Matías García on TNT Sports, the River Plate idol, who recently left Inter de Porto Alegre, is very close to taking over at Rosario Central.

Ramón Díaz’s notable stints in the Brasileirao, managing Vasco Da Gama and Corinthians, have put him back among the South American elite, and now he is looking for a change of scenery that could bring him back to Argentine football. While the next few hours will be crucial and nothing is finalized yet, Díaz’s possible arrival is seen as a true "bombshell."

Along with Ramón, two other names being considered for the Central bench are Chacho Coudet (currently at Alavés) and Vitamina Sánchez (currently managing Olimpia).
