Sanjustino 2026: Marcelo Molina inspires after ninth title | OneFootball

The name Marcelo Molina is already synonymous with glory on the "Green Planet." After an unwavering management, the board of Sanjustino confirmed the continuation of the Tucuman coach for another season. The support is no coincidence: the coach has just added the ninth star to the institution's crest after winning the 2024 Apertura undefeated and repeating the crown in 2025 by defeating Colón de San Justo in an unforgettable final.

In an exclusive interview with Juan Carlos Haberkon for the Pasión Liga section of Liga Santafesina in El Litoral, Molina analyzed the present of a team that is not satisfied. "It turned out just as we planned. When I was called, the goal was one championship and today there are already two," stated the coach, who also highlighted that the success is the result of a joint effort between a committed squad and a management that "provided everything necessary to achieve success."

A journey of hierarchy at the service of Santafesino football

Molina is no novice on the bench. His arrival in San Justo in July 2023 was backed by an extensive career that includes stints in Chilean football (Coquimbo) and various Argentine lower division clubs such as Racing de Olavarría, Boca Unidos, and Sol de América.

However, his heart has a special bond with Santa Fe. Trained as a player in the now-defunct Ferrocarril Santa Fe and with a professional past at Club Atlético Colón (he was part of the historic 1995 promotion squad), the "Matador" has managed to pour all that experience into the competitive Liga Santafesina. Regarding his future and his connection with the Sabalero, he confessed to El Litoral that, although coaching Colón is an unfulfilled dream, today his absolute priority is the well-being and respect he receives at Sanjustino.

The challenges of 2026: Triple competition on the horizon

Molina's renewal brings with it an agenda full of ambition. This year, the "Verde" will not only seek to defend its prestige in the local tournament but also aims at the Santa Fe Cup and the Torneo Regional Federal Amateur. As detailed to Juan Carlos Haberkon, the club has the structure and the squad necessary to compete on all fronts.

With order and work as its flags, Marcelo Molina continues to consolidate a project that has already given the green community two consecutive titles. The objective is clear: to keep making history in regional football while the team's ceiling seems to be getting higher and higher.
