Millionaires is going through one of its most stirred weeks in a long time. The defeat at home in front of Unión Magdalena, who left the team at the bottom of the table and unleashed the fury of the fans, was the end point of David González's cycle. The Antioquia coach, who had assumed with a medium -term project, came out in the midst of frustration, reproaches and launching shoes from the stands of El Campín.
Just hours after González's departure, the Blue Directive moved token and everything points to the return of an old acquaintance: Hernán Torres. The Tolimense coach, who was close to signing with Real Cartagena as he spent a few days in New York, changed the course and in the next could close his link with the club.
The memory of the star 14
The name of Torres inevitably awakens the memory of the 2012 campaign, when he broke a 24 -year -old drought without league titles and gave the ambassadors the desired star 14. At that time, he inherited a solid base of Richard Páez and knew how to transform it into a competitive and winning team.
The stage is now diametrically opposite. Torres will meet a hit, last in the table and with a disenchanted fans. Unlike thirteen years ago, you will not have room to build from scratch: you must work with what there is and find immediate solutions to straighten the course.
Your coaching staff
Torres's new staff would be very similar to the one who accompanied him in his first cycle with millionaires. Luis Asprilla, former blue player in 2006, would assume as a technical assistant. The physical trainer would be Diego Alejandro Guzmán and Jairo Sarta would return as a archer coach. All of them have already been part of the team in the successful period 2012-2013.
The only absence would be that of Darío “Chusco” Sierra, right hand of the DT at that time, but will not be in this new stage.
David González left office with a measured message, but aware of the crisis. “The situation is unsustainable and understandable,” he said after the defeat against Unión Magdalena, who sank him in the last place of the championship.
President Enrique Camacho, accompanied by Mackalister Silva and sports director Ricardo Pérez, explained that the initial commitment was to maintain a long breath project, but the situation forced a drastic change. “We were forced to this,” said the leader.
While Torres signs and puts himself at the head of the group, this Saturday Millionaires will face the Junior leader. On the line will be Carlos Giraldo, coach of the Blue Sub-20 and member of González's coaching staff, who will assume interimly.
The challenge for Hernán Torres is capital: to revive a beaten team, rebuild the relationship with the fans and demonstrate that his name not only belongs to the glorious past of millionaires, but also to a present that demands urgent responses.
