Rodolfo De Paoli on his time at Colón: "I never expected so much politics" | OneFootball

Rodolfo De Paoli recalled his time at Colón and stated that he did not imagine «there was so much political atmosphere».

In a conversation with Clank, Juan Pablo Varsky's channel, De Paoli remembered that he was at Colón for «just 36 days». He elaborated: «but there are moments when you have to know when to enter and when to leave. It's tempting when Colón comes looking for you and they say: ‘come, Colón wants to ascend and out of the last eleven games, they won one’. And I arrived, we won two of the first four, and yet, it was a pressure cooker».

He also recalled that «there was a very tense microclimate, what Colón is experiencing, I started to sense it from the beginning. I never imagined there was so much political atmosphere. It was madness: I feel sorry for the players and coaches who went through it».

«Osella went through, Minella who was interim, won a game and they put him in, lost five and they fired him. Pereyra came in, set things up, started well and lost five games in a row and they fired him», he continued.

And he added: «‘No, but let's bring in Yllana who was the last champion and they fired him. And he did even worse than us. Then Medrán came, played four games and didn't win any, lost three. Colón is madness».

On the other hand, he spoke about the power of the Santa Fe press. «Locally, it's like managing Boca or River. You step out to the corner and they already know who you went out with, if you had coffee, the training. It was overwhelming. It's a very big club, they need to agree among themselves».
