“I don't know where,” he said when questioned by the probable origin of anonymous messages. The Mexican coach, who directed Atlético Nacional in the second half of 2024, said that the mood of the 28 -year -old was very affected before the game for alleged threats.
Angulo left the ranks of Independiente de Avellaneda to sign with Pumas on July 25, and maintains economic claims with the leadership of the King of Argentine Cups. “We are in an internal investigation of the club,” concluded Juarez.
Until the publication of this article, the Colombian footballer has not publicly pronounced on the threats received. Despite the situation he lived, he started in the defeat of his team against Inter Miami this Wednesday. He played 87 minutes and finished on the door.
The Nariñense side was born 28 years ago in Tumaco and debuted as a professional in Deportivo Pasto. Then he had steps through golden eagles and Atlético Nacional before making the leap abroad in 2025. His passage through Independiente de Avellaneda was brief and since last month he plays for Pumas of the MX League.
