This morning we were saying that José Alonso is speeding up the search for Colón’s new head coach after the decision to bring Ezequiel Medrán’s spell to an end. With Sava already ruled out due to his situation in the top flight with Sarmiento de Junín, it has now come down to a head-to-head between Iván Delfino and Leandro Gracián.
Iván Delfino has taken an interesting edge over Gracián, since at this moment, approaching midday on this Monday, August 3, accompanied by his representative Gabriel Federico, he is meeting with Diego Colotto, Colón’s sporting director.
Delfino’s numbers from his previous spell
In those 26 matches, El Sabalero recorded 12 wins, seven draws, and seven defeats. In this way, they picked up 43 points out of 78 available, with a 55% success rate. They also had a goal difference of +14, with 33 goals scored and 19 conceded.
From the last 24 points available, they managed only six, and the team went from being top of the table to falling to 5th place in Zone B, five points behind Aldosivi, who were the sole leaders.
Meanwhile, away from home, Delfino’s efficiency was just 33%, the result of three wins, four draws, and six defeats. He collected 13 points out of 39 available.
In total, Delfino managed Colón in 28 matches, since in addition to the 26 in Primera Nacional, there were two more in the Copa Argentina. In the first, they beat Los Andes 2-1, and in the other they lost 1-0 to Talleres, being eliminated from the competition.
In this way, the overall numbers show that Delfino recorded 13 wins, seven draws, and eight defeats. He collected 46 points out of 81 available, with a 56.7% success rate.
At home, Delfino’s success rate as Colón coach reached 77%, thanks to nine wins, three draws, and just one defeat. He collected 30 points out of 39 available.
