San Lorenzo's new board back Gustavo Álvarez | OneFootball

San Lorenzo voted this past Saturday and elected Marcelo Culotta as its new president, leading the Board of Directors that will complete the 2023–27 term begun by Marcelo Moretti. With the change in leadership, doubts arose over the continuity of head coach Gustavo Álvarez, uncertainty that now seems to have quickly been left behind after his meeting with Walter Perazzo, Guillermo Franco, and Martín Saric, members of the new football department of the incoming administration.

This Monday, a meeting lasting approximately three hours took place with the current Ciclón head coach, a conversation in which they discussed the steps to follow ahead of the second half of the year, such as planning preseason and possible reinforcements; a clear sign that Álvarez is not expected to leave the club.

Before this afternoon’s meeting, Perazzo — set to take over as General Coordinator — previewed the meeting and hinted that he intended to count on Álvarez for the second half of the campaign, while also revealing a previous connection between them. “The idea is to talk with the coach and see what his view is regarding San Lorenzo’s future. I have a very good relationship with Gustavo, I know him. He replaced me at Aldosivi, and we’ve shared several meals and conversations”, he explained in an interview with DSports Radio.

The former Universidad de Chile coach arrived during Sergio Costantino’s interim administration and signed a contract through December of this year, so talks will only need to resume at the end of the campaign if both parties wish to continue the project into next year.

Within the professional football structure, alongside the captain of the Camboyanos are Guillermo Franco — as Manager — and Martín Saric, who spoke with TyCSports.com and explained what his role at the club will be. “I’m going to be working with Guille Franco in the sporting department, with Walter Perazzo joining us as General Football Coordinator”, he said.
