Patronato left without a manager: Gabriel Gómez terminates his contract | OneFootball

After a meeting with the board, the coach agreed to leave the Paraná club. Patronato is beginning the search for a new manager for the next season.

This Friday, October 17, the rumor that had circulated since Patronato’s elimination in Río Cuarto against Estudiantes was confirmed: Gabriel Gómez is no longer the Rojinegro’s coach.

Although the manager had not officially communicated his decision to the squad, his relationship with the institution came to an end after a meeting held at the club’s headquarters. The departure was decided by mutual agreement with the board, which is already working on planning the new sporting cycle.

Agreement, farewell, and what’s next

The coach from Ramallo held his final meeting with the board of directors in Villa Sarmiento, where the contract termination was signed.

It’s possible that next Tuesday, when the squad resumes training, the former Rojinegro boss will visit the training ground to say goodbye to his players in person. However, his professional future will lie away from the club.

Meanwhile, Patronato has already begun the search for a new coaching staff. President Adrián Bruffal, together with Víctor Muller and other board members, are evaluating candidates to decide on the replacement among the proposals received.

The official confirmation of the separation is still pending, although the agreement between the parties is sealed. A decision is also awaited on who will take charge of training until the end of the year, during a period without official competition.

The board will use the coming weeks to evaluate the first team squad and decide on possible departures or releases, within the framework of the sporting project that Patronato aims to consolidate for the 2026 season.

Gómez’s numbers

Gabriel Gómez ended his tenure with 35 matches managed, recording 12 wins, 12 draws, and 11 losses, which represents an effectiveness of 46.35%.

In addition, the coach achieved the second-best home record at the Grella stadium, with a 12-match unbeaten run, just one short of the record held by Iván Delfino.

Another relevant fact: since the 2017/18 season, Patronato had not finished a championship without a coaching change. With his departure, Gómez broke that internal “statistic” and bids farewell after completing a full cycle in charge of the Paraná side.
