Independiente and the complex task of finding a DT after Stillitano’s farewell: who was the first to say no

The bet went very badly. Independiente’s new management had wagered a plenary session with the engagement of Leandro StillitanoAfter all, the coach wanted to grab after several refusals. However, heThe adventure only lasted eight dateswith just one match won, two losses and five draws (the last four in a row).

And now that? While Pedro Monzon (responsible for the Reserve) will temporarily take charge of the First Division squad and will manage it on Sunday for the Argentine Cup against Ciudad de Bolívar, the president Fabiano Doman the search for a successor began. And the prospect is not at all simple.

There is no big candidate in sight. The only thing clear in the board of directors chaired by the journalist and television host is that they cannot make another bet; The idea is to try to convince a name with experience and a higher back.

For this reason, the move has been high stakes. Sun called Gerard Martino on this Sunday morning and heard the first “thanks but no”. The other that has been probed and is impossible is Hernan Crespovery comfortable in Qatar football.

Another one they’ve been in contact with in the past few hours is Gustavo Alfaro. After crossing Ecuador, Lettuce he has the continuation abroad as a priority, but he did not throw a flat refusal, on the contrary he left a glimmer of light open. Difficult all the same.

the Uruguayan Diego Alonso plays, but does not finish convincing the majority since it would not have the back it needs after the first setback of this brand new leadership elected with the vote of the shareholders last October. Something similar happens with Paul Guede, currently without a club. The former San Lorenzo has already been of interest since last year, but at the moment it would not be a priority.

Anthony Mohammed is another of those who is without direction. He Turkish He was champion of the Copa Sudamericana in 2010 with the Reds. He has a strong personality and has been on the bench longer since then. In Avellaneda there are several who look at him with great affection and consider his return appropriate.

Impossible not to have in sight another champion who has left a very pleasant memory: ariel holan. The father of the group that was crowned in the Maracaná in 2017 by the South American is at the Catholic University where he has a contract until December. A barrier is your close bond with Fernando Hidalgowho is still his agent.

The figure of Hidalgo is a sideways glance into the microclimate of devil given that, according to what they underline in the club, since his arrival in 2018, and with the consent of the table of the management of Hugo Moiano, the most onerous contracts were given which were then concluded in the trials which up to now have handcuffed and inhibited the institution. His return would seem unattainable, unless old differences are ironed out a lot.

The offers are starting to arrive. Walter Ervitipassing by as an Independiente player, he was one of the names approached, along with other former reds in his coaching staff such as Eduardo Tuzzio AND Carlos Mateu. However, this option would go against the other hand of not making a new bet. Runs far back.

AS? The search will not block on these variants. Even some who don’t carry much weight today over the days could see their shares go up and vice versa. The prospects are complicated for anyone who sits down to listen to Independiente’s proposal. It is that whoever takes over must do so in the middle of a tournament that has begun, with an already assembled and not very abundant squad that sinks from mid-table downwards.

Added to this a fixed appointment that launches the next five courageous appointments: After the stop date, FIFA will visit San Lorenzo, receive Estudiantes, then Central will play Rosario, the classic with Racing at home and River at the Monumental. To make matters worse, in order to incorporate mid-year, the club must lift América de México’s $5.7 million ban.

Currently, He Moncho Monzón will try to take advantage of this opportunity he has due to a case of force majeure. And if he gets a win for the Argentine Cup, will his interim period get longer as the management continues without finding a firm candidate and gets good results in the next matches? While that’s not the premise right now, nothing can be ruled out in this Independent that ran out of DT too soon.
