Exclusive: Colotto says only committed players stay at Colón | OneFootball

Diego Colotto, sports director of Colón, provided details on the program "La Doce" of Radio Gol 96.7 about the ambitious project he leads alongside the coaching staff and management, with the goal of achieving promotion to the top tier of Argentine football.

Management Balance and Playing Style

Colotto, who took on his role in December 2025, expressed his satisfaction with the work done so far. "Yes, yes, we are happy." The project focuses on the comprehensive restructuring of the squad and youth areas, with full support from the management.

Regarding the First Division team, the objective is clear:"we will try to make the team an organized, intense, leading team, reflecting things that people can identify with what they see."

Continuity of Ezequiel Medrán and the Technical Secretariat

The decision to keep Ezequiel Medrán as coach was consensual, as he shares the vision of restructuring the squad. Colotto highlighted the importance of continuity in work processes.

The technical secretariat, composed of three people, works on market analysis, comparisons, and statistics. The joint work with the coaching staff is fundamental for decision-making.

The Transfer Market and Specific Cases

Regarding the transfer market, Colotto stated that the club will continue working until the last day. On Nahuel Curcio's departure on loan, he explained: "Nahuel expressed the situation that he wanted to take this experience abroad." The player extended his contract for another year and went on loan with a purchase option.

In the case of Kevin López, who eventually signed with San Martín de Tucumán, the manager was clear:"players who want to come to Colón and respect that stay, and those who have doubts or different thoughts can leave, there is no problem."

The Future of Ignacio Lago and Club Infrastructure

Regarding Ignacio Lago's contractual situation, Colotto appreciated his professionalism:"how Nacho behaves is exemplary because he hasn't changed his stance despite not having renewed." The sports director is confident that the renewal will be agreed upon "as quickly as possible for the peace of mind of both parties."

Finally, regarding the club's facilities, Colotto valued that the current structure is"very good." However, he projects long-term improvements to generate greater identity and comprehensive training, such as building a school within the grounds for the 300 kids who are part of the club.
