Unbeaten run over and crisis, Colón seek boss as Medrán's future looms | OneFootball

Despite having led Monday morning’s training session at the 4 de Junio grounds, Ezequiel Medrán’s departure from Colón seems inevitable. The club’s leadership is convinced it must bring the process to an end due to the team’s poor performances, but the main obstacle is financial: terminating the remaining five months of his contract would pose a serious problem for the institution’s weakened finances.

The trigger for this situation was the defeat to Chaco For Ever, a match that cost them three points, the chance to close in on leaders Ferro, and the end of their unbeaten home record. Although Colón remains in the Reducido zone and still depends on its own results, the club’s membership and history demand a title challenge. The worrying decline in the team’s play has sped up the timeline for a board that is already considering replacements.

At the center of the discussions led by sporting manager Diego Colotto, four names have emerged. Javier Sanguinetti is one option under consideration; there is another currently employed coach who is even more appealing; Lucas Pusineri is liked for his style but prefers to stay in Buenos Aires; and the return of Iván Delfino is also being evaluated, after he was removed from the position by Víctor Godano amid public pressure. The next few hours will be crucial in determining whether Medrán gets one last chance against Acassuso or is dismissed before the match.
