The rumor of recent days was confirmed, but that is not the most important news that Deportivo Cali gave.
The club, mired in a major economic crisis and in an intense fight against relegation, has officially announced the return of Alfredo Arias to the team’s technical direction. That was known. The important thing is to know what his role will be from now until December, since it will not be until 2025 when he can officially assume the position.
“An agreement has been reached with Professor Alfredo Arias, for him to return to the institution. For the remainder of the year, he will be with the professional team as a sports advisor, accompanying them in the remaining matches in both the League and the Cup,” the Valle del Cauca team reported in a statement.
“Once it finishes its competitions, the first team, in coordination with the Executive Committee and in the company of its Technical Staff, will analyze and plan the objectives for the year 2025, when it will take over as Technical Director,” added the club.
‘And then what will happen to Sergio Herrera, the coach who today is putting his chest to the difficult situation? He will definitely continue in the club: “His (Arias’) work team will be made up of Sergio Herrera and Juan Manuel López as Technical Assistants, Ignacio Berriel and Mauricio Guzmán as Physical Trainers, and Jorge Rayo as Goalkeepers Coach. He will also be accompanied by Daniel Collazos as Performance Analyst and Giovanny Rojas.”
The task will be difficult because the sugar producers are located in 17th place in the championship with 11 points and in relegation they are in 16th place with an average of 1.03.
