This Sunday, Deportes Tolima made the arrival of Lucas González official as its new technical director. The coach, who already has experience in Colombian football with Golden Eagles and América de Cali, returns to the country after a brief passage through Argentine football. For the Ibagué Club, it represents a commitment to tactical knowledge and the forming profile of a young DT, but already with experience.
González did not sit in a bank since July 2024, when he closed his cycle with Central Córdoba of Argentina. In that team, the results were elusive: in nine games he only achieved a victory, a draw and seven losses. A short and difficult experience that left him out of the radar for a while, but without erasing what he built before in Colombia.
Águilas and América: His presentation letter in Colombia
Lucas González's story in Colombian football began with golden Águilas, where he left a pleasant impression. He classified the team to the home runs and closed its step with a competitive balance: 11 victories, 7 draws and 8 losses. His style, focused on possession and clean departure from the bottom, generated attention in the local football environment.
That performance catapulted him to a major challenge: América de Cali. He assumed the position in the second semester of 2023 with high expectations. However, the context was different. Although the numbers were similar to those of Águilas (11 wins, 7 draws and 10 losses in 28 games), they did not reach to support the process. In a big club, where the results send, the margin of patience was short.
Tolima comes from being a constant protagonist in the Colombian League. With a solid base, González's challenge will be to consolidate a competitive team that maintains its prominence and can fight for titles. His return to the country is also a new opportunity to confirm his profile as a coach capable of managing schools with hierarchy and pressure.
The challenge is not less, but the context could play in its favor: a club with structure, stability and ambition. Now it remains in the hands of Lucas González translate his ideas into results.
