José Alonso meets Diego Colotto in Rosario to finalise his move as manager | OneFootball

The Atlético Colón Club of Santa Fe is currently undergoing a restructuring process following the elections that appointed José Alonso as the new president of the institution. In a crucial step for future football planning, Alonso and his management team are holding a significant meeting today in the city of Rosario with Diego Colotto to finalize his incorporation as manager or sports director, as confirmed by Radio Gol.

José Alonso: The New President of Colón

José Alonso, leader of the "Tradición Sabalera" list, was elected president of Colón on November 30th with strong support from the members, surpassing 13,000 eligible voters. Although his official inauguration is scheduled for this Wednesday, the new management is already working against the clock to tackle the urgent challenges facing the club, primarily the inhibition (debts) and the comprehensive restructuring of professional football.

In his first statements as president-elect, Alonso expressed the need to move past internal problems and focus efforts on a "unique and different Colón."

Diego Colotto: The Candidate for Manager

The leading candidate for a key role in the football organization is Diego Colotto, a former footballer with a distinguished career, including a U-20 World Cup championship with the Argentine National Team in 2001 and stints with clubs like Estudiantes de La Plata, Atlas of Mexico, and Deportivo La Coruña of Spain. The former player is seen as a serious professional, with experience and a "good radar" for talent detection.

Colotto arrived in Santa Fe this Tuesday afternoon to hold the decisive meeting with the management team led by Alonso. Although initially, there was mention of him possibly assuming the role of head coach, the latest information indicates that the intention is for him to take on the role of sports director or manager, working closely in forming the squad and selecting the coaching staff for the upcoming Primera Nacional season.

The Meeting in Rosario and the Immediate Future

According to Radio Gol, from sources close to the club, today's meeting in Rosario aims to finalize the last details and seal the contractual agreement with the manager. This meeting is crucial, as its outcome depends on the imminent appointment of the new coaching staff and the first reinforcements for the team, which needs to build a solid base to seek a return to the Professional League. The inauguration of the new management this Wednesday will mark the formal start of the administration, but the most important decisions are already being made to not lose ground in the transfer market.
