San Lorenzo has not yet arranged for Insua’s departure but the dance of the DTs to replace him has already begun

Although he has not yet sealed his departure from Saint Lawrence, Ruben Dario Insua He stopped being the director of Ciclón after almost two years of working at the institute. El Gallego arrived at the worst moment and saved him from a fire, and last year he managed to put him back on track and qualify him for the Copa Libertadores. However, his results in 2024 were so bad that the management decided to turn around and ask him to step aside, a situation that sparked a serious conflict in Boedo.

Insua, who had signed the two-year renewal last January, did not agree to resign and demanded that, if they wanted him out of the club, they would kick him out, bringing to light the internal dispute that was ongoing with Marcelo Morettielected president of Cuervo at the end of 2023. An explosive post from the coach’s wife ended up exposing the controversy that exists between the two parties and which has not yet found a solution.

In the midst of this climate of tension, in San Lorenzo Rumor has it that Insua could appear in practice this Friday in the afternoon to clarify his position in the face of a controversy that divides Barça fans.

Meanwhile, San Lorenzo knows that in eleven days there is a crucial match for qualifying for the round of 16 Libertadores Cup when I visit on Tuesday April 23rd Liverpool of Uruguay. This weekend’s match, valid for the League Cup, will take place on Sunday at 8pm against Central Córdoba, in Santiago del Estero, and will be directed by Leandro Romagnoli.

Given the urgency of finding a new coach, the club is starting to hear the first names that could succeed Insua, even if the one closest to the management has already given the thumbs down: Luis Zubeldia.

The former Racing and Lanús player, Zubeldía, also considered a candidate to lead Boca, is without a team after being champion of the South American Cup 2023 with the League of Quito, a title that established him as one of the most sought-after coaches in South America. The blonde coach would reportedly prefer to continue developing his career abroad and is waiting for an offer that could tempt him.

Be the president of the club Marcelo MorettiAS Nestor Ortigozaresponsible for professional football, is looking for a successor whose main characteristic is to promote youth and attacking play, always keeping his eyes on the goal in front of him.

Therefore, another popular candidate is Gabriele Heinzewho has been jobless since his last visit to Newell’s, where he appeared to take a step back in his promising campaign. El Gringo had already been appointed to Boedo before Insua appeared but he decided to withdraw because he usually joins teams where there are many young players and this was not the case of that San Lorenzo which has accumulated veterans and millionaire debts.

In addition to Zubeldía and Heize, in San Lorenzo we also talk about Ariel Holanwho was at the head of the cycles remembered in Defense and Justice AND Independent. “I am open to listening to projects. They must motivate me to accept challenges”, commented the 2017 South American champion with Rojo, released last July after his second period at the Catholic University of Chile.

A little further back, in the preferences of the San Lorenzo leaders, two historical members of the institution should be nominated, who would not hesitate to wear the diver if they received the call from Ortigoza: Néstor Raúl Gorositowho was just fired from Tigre for poor results, and Paolo Silasthe former footballer who was an idol in the nineties and who has carried out an intense activity as a coach in his country since 2007.
