Here’s how Patronato’s transfer market is shaping up for the 2026 season | OneFootball

Looking ahead to 2026 and the start of the preseason, Patronato has not only confirmed the arrivals of Federico Bravo and Tomás Attis as the two new faces of the transfer market, but will also add a member to Rubén Darío Forestello's coaching staff.

At the beginning of the preseason, César Bessone will be introduced as a fitness coach and will be working alongside Exequiel Paoloni. The former footballer is already familiar with working alongside "Yagui," having shared processes at Santamarina, Atlético Rafaela, Colón, Talleres, and San Martín de San Juan.

Due to family situations, he couldn't continue in the rest of Forestello's processes, but now, after a stint at Ben Hur, he will return to be part of the coach's staff at Patronato and will lend a hand with physical and physio-technical tasks when the work is mixed.

Thus, the working group with Forestello is completed with Alejandro Gabriel Meloño Botta and Marcelo Candia as assistants; Exequiel Paoloni and Bessone as fitness coaches, and Carlos Marcelo Bangert as the goalkeeping coach.

This Tuesday, the Santa entity confirmed the arrival of the 26-year-old forward, who last played for Sportivo Belgrano, coming on loan at no cost with a purchase option from 9 de Julio de Rafaela.

Tomás Attis is the fourth new face

Thus, the attacker trained at Belgrano de Córdoba joins the confirmations of Agustín Araujo, Franco Meritello, and Federico Bravo; plus the already secured continuations of Alan Sosa and Maximiliano Rueda, who have extended their contracts.

The entity and the coaching staff continue working on bringing in new faces while awaiting decisions regarding Guillermo Ortiz (who was offered to Godoy Cruz), Enzo Avaro (has another offer from Mitre), Lautaro Geminiani (there are concrete talks), and Enzo Luna.
