The departure of Martín Minella from the technical direction of Colón's Reserve has led to a scenario of tension and potential legal consequences. Although initially, there was talk of a consensual exit—reinforced by a farewell message from the coach himself on social media—it was confirmed that there was neither resignation nor agreement between the parties.

Due to the lack of understanding, the leadership headed by José Alonso's administration proceeded with a unilateral dismissal. According to journalist Brian Borra, the official telegram is expected to be notified next Monday, confirming that the departure was not voluntary.

No Political Support

Minella had joined the club in January 2024 with the support of Víctor Godano. However, his continuity was weakened by the lack of backing from the current leadership, highlighting an internal political fracture that ultimately precipitated his departure.

A New Legal Front

With no formal justification or explicit cause for the termination, the Santa Fe institution is exposed to a contractual conflict that could end up in court. This episode adds a new focus of instability in a Colón that, while searching for a successor for the Reserve, continues to deal with disarray in its sports structure.
