The spell is over: Ferro accepted Rondina's resignation | OneFootball

The Primera Nacional’s “manager grinder” claimed another name. Sergio Rondina decided to step aside after the 1-0 defeat to Estudiantes de Buenos Aires. Ferro’s leadership accepted his resignation this Monday, bringing to a close a stint that had promised a push near the top but ended with just 9 points from a possible 24.

The atmosphere at the Ricardo Etcheverri had been growing tense. Despite an encouraging debut with a win over San Telmo, the team never found the consistency needed to be a contender. The draws against San Miguel and Colón had already raised doubts, but it was the defeats to Godoy Cruz and Los Andes that finally exhausted the fans’ patience, and in recent home matches they sent the team off amid jeers.

The victory over Atlanta in the derby seemed like the lifeline Rondina needed to turn things around, but it was only an illusion. After a dull draw against All Boys and the recent loss to the Caseros side, “Huevo” felt there was no more room to maneuver. As he left the locker room, he informed the board of his irreversible decision, putting an end to a project that had included building the squad and preseason preparations, but which now leaves Ferro urgently needing to find a replacement so as not to miss the championship train.
