Álvarez trains first with San Lorenzo, gears up for debut | OneFootball

The new coach was introduced to the squad and began preparations with his debut against Riestra in mind.

Gustavo Álvarez began his stint as San Lorenzo’s coach. This Monday he was at the Pedro Bidegain stadium, where he signed his contract and led his first training session in charge of the squad. The 53-year-old coach arrived early at the Nuevo Gasómetro and, accompanied by president Sergio Costantino and Pablo Barrientos, finalized his deal with the club through the end of the year.

After signing, the coach moved to auxiliary field number 1 to lead his first practice. Alongside his coaching staff, made up of Marcelo Figueroa, Nilo Carretero and César Córdoba, he introduced himself to the group and oversaw a training session of approximately 50 minutes.

The session was brief and without any clearly defined tactical work, although it served to begin establishing concepts for the short term. With little room to spare, Álvarez is already thinking about his debut, which will be this Wednesday against Riestra. This Tuesday’s training session will be key, as it will be his only opportunity to test a lineup before the first match of his stint.
