E. Dominguez, the title-winning boss with Colón, crowned champion again | OneFootball

Eduardo Domínguez made history once again, becoming champion, and the name that repeats, that explains the process, and that supports the result is his. El Barba lifted another trophy and achieved his fifth title with Pincha, being one of the most successful coaches in Argentine football.

Estudiantes sneaked in through the window, qualified eighth, and ended up at the top. Domínguez understood the context like few others, knowing that the team had to become strong when the situation was adverse. The hallway incident against Central marked a turning point, leading to sanctions, punishment for the club, Verón forced to watch from the stands, and a tense relationship with the AFA. But something stronger also arrived: the silent support of the football fan, the one who recognizes teams that play seriously and coaches who don't improvise.

From there, they eliminated Central Córdoba in the quarterfinals, beat Gimnasia in the semis, and when the final seemed lost against Racing, they tied it agonizingly, held on, and won with mystique. And today in San Nicolás, this team with the Dominguez DNA did it again, with character, order, and conviction, they are champions once more, the second title in a week.

Eduardo Domínguez already knows what it's like to be a champion with Estudiantes, having won the Copa Argentina 2023, the Copa de la Liga 2024, the Trofeo de Campeones 2024, the Torneo Clausura 2025, and now once again the Trofeo de Campeones. Thus, he distanced himself from illustrious names like Sabella, Bilardo, and Simeone, and is just one away from Osvaldo Zubeldía, the most successful coach on the Estudiantes bench.

Beyond the trophies, there is identity. This Estudiantes reflects its coach: serious, competitive, resilient. A team that, when everything is downhill, responds. When everyone counted them out, they grew stronger. The context didn't pressure them.

Eduardo Domínguez demonstrated it in Colón in 2021, when he also won a final against Racing. Today he confirms it once more in Estudiantes, a club that values process, project, and sustained work. El Barba understood that school and enhanced it. After closing the year this way, and without knowing if he will continue for another year, Domínguez earned a big place in the club's history and in the heart of the Pincharrata fan. Because Estudiantes is great, and because their coach is too.
