For Ever without a manager: poor results cost Pancaldo his job

The club reported this Saturday that it reached an agreement with the coach from Santa Fe for him to step aside.
Chaco For Ever’s footballing crisis ultimately led to Ricardo Pancaldo’s departure after a forgettable start to the season in Primera Nacional’s Zone A. The “Negro” still has yet to win in the competition, managing just two draws and four losses so far, the latest coming last night against Gimnasia de Jujuy. However, beyond the worrying points tally, what ultimately exhausted the patience of the club’s leadership and the fans was the team’s extremely poor level of play.
The team’s performances were described as very weak, marked by a lack of clear identity and unconvincing displays that have now left it in the dreaded direct relegation spot. Pancaldo failed to find an ideal starting eleven, making multiple changes from one match to the next without getting tactical or emotional responses on the field. This erratic run left the Chaco side at the bottom of the table, forcing an urgent restructuring in an attempt to save the season and achieve the club’s main objective: avoiding relegation.
On the immediate horizon is the Copa Argentina match scheduled for this Wednesday against Defensa y Justicia, followed by next week’s away fixture against Los Andes. With the team currently without a head coach, “Negro” fans hope history repeats itself as it did in 2023. Back then, the team was also in the relegation zone when Diego Osella resigned just before a Copa Argentina clash. On that occasion, Marcelo Carrasco took over on an interim basis and led the team to a historic win over Rosario Central, a victory that proved to be the turning point needed to spark a positive run that ultimately saved the club from relegation.
