⚠️Uncertainty: Nacional to decide manager's future after final | OneFootball

While Atlético Nacional fine-tunes the final details ahead of the Liga BetPlay grand final against Junior de Barranquilla, the club’s offices are already debating the future of the coaching staff. Although the current performance supports the process, the board will stick to its policy of evaluating coach Diego Arias’s continuity once the championship is over.

The title as a ticket to stay

The internal outlook indicates that winning star number 19 would automatically guarantee the young manager’s renewal. Arias took over at a difficult time and managed to stabilize the squad in the final stretch of the tournament; however, the club’s top brass prefer not to rush and will make the final decision dependent on the outcome of the decisive series.

The shadow of Reinaldo Rueda

If the outcome is not the expected one, the club is already considering strong alternatives. It was confirmed that there were previous talks with Reinaldo Rueda, the historic head coach who led the Verdolagas to continental glory in the 2016 Copa Libertadores. His vast international experience generates broad consensus within the board, although all the current focus remains on lifting the domestic trophy.
