Who is Enrique Cesana, new national teams coordinator replacing Romeo | OneFootball

Bernardo Romeo vacated the position of coordinator of national youth teams this Tuesday, and the AFA wasted no time in finding his replacement. After six years in the role, the former striker accepted a similar position in the United States, and the authorities appointed a member of his own team to succeed him: Enrique Cesana.

Although his name may not ring a bell for the average fan, the truth is that Quique had been working alongside Bernie as the physical trainer for the same divisions, so he will not need an adaptation period or time to get to know the squads he will be in charge of. Additionally, this confirms satisfaction with the direction taken under the San Lorenzo idol’s management, maintaining the same approach.

Cesana, 55, will be responsible for the comprehensive preparation of the teams and the important task of supervising scouting, such as overseeing the department in Spain that hunts for talents of Argentine descent. Currently, this area is headed by Juan Manuel Tassi.

The newly appointed coach is originally from Morteros, Córdoba, and took up his previous position in 2017 alongside his fellow provincial Pablo Aimar. As a player, he spent time in the youth divisions of Newell’s and Unión.
