Shock at Central Córdoba: Omar De Felippe to step down as manager | OneFootball

Despite the management's efforts to retain him, the coach decided to end his second stint at the railway club.

The second stint of Omar De Felippe at the helm of Central Córdoba has come to an end. The experienced coach decided not to renew his contract and to step aside after the elimination against Estudiantes in the quarterfinals of the Clausura Tournament, bringing to a close a chapter that deeply marked the recent history of the club from the Oeste neighborhood.

After the defeat against the Pincha, De Felippe had anticipated that he needed to meet with the directors because “there were many things to resolve.” Finally, in that meeting, the coach informed them of his decision not to continue at the institution, to which he had returned in July 2024 after the departure of Colombian Lucas González Vélez.

The cycle that ends leaves historic achievements for the Ferroviario. Under the guidance of De Felippe, Central Córdoba not only definitively distanced itself from the relegation battle, but also achieved unprecedented sporting feats.

They were champions of the 2024 Copa Argentina and had their historic first international appearance: in the Copa Libertadores, where they achieved the unforgettable victory over Flamengo (current champions of America) at the Maracanã, and in the Copa Sudamericana, where they were eliminated on penalties by Lanús, who later went on to lift the Cup.

On the domestic front, Ferro showed sustained competitiveness, reaching the quarterfinals of the 2025 Clausura, a stage in which they were eliminated by the narrowest margin against Estudiantes at the Estadio Único Madre de Ciudades.

Now, with the departure of their most successful coach, the management faces a double challenge: rebuilding the squad, as several players will not continue, and hiring a new head coach to lead the sporting project for the next season.

The club has not yet issued an official statement, but it is expected to confirm the coach’s departure in the coming hours.
