Alejandro Russo steps down as Colón reserve team coach | OneFootball

By mutual agreement, it was decided that Alejandro Russo would step down from his position at the head of the Reserve division to focus his work on a single role.

Up to now, Russo had been pulling “double duty” by managing the reserve team and, at the same time, serving as general coordinator of the club’s youth divisions. With the aim of optimizing the youth football structure, he will leave his coaching role and will devote himself one hundred percent to developmental coordination.

The Reserve finished the Apertura in 15th place with 18 points.

Russo’s official campaign in charge of the Reserve, which began on February 3 with a scoreless draw against Estudiantes, ended with a total of 20 official matches on the bench. During this stretch, the team recorded 5 wins, 5 draws, and 10 losses.

The successor is already in-house

The club’s leadership did not take long to decide, and the man chosen to take over the Reserve squad is a familiar face: Miguel “Chueco” Robledo.

Robledo has been working in the club’s youth ranks for more than 15 years.

He will be joined by Tomás Alfonso and Fernando Alonso as assistant coaches. Both professionals were already part of the outgoing coaching staff alongside Russo, which will ensure a smooth transition with the squad.
