After the failure in the Copa Libertadores, Atlético Nacional continues to search for the new coaching staff, who can carry out the process, accompanied by sporting successes. As has happened in the last moments of the situation, the deck of candidates is large. For this occasion, the margin of error is smaller and from the purslane leadership, they cannot make a mistake in this decision again.
After learning about the interest in Hernán Crespo, who rejected the club’s offer, Lucas Pusineri and Alfredo Arias, This Friday from the web program ‘La Tertulia Verdolaga’, the journalist Andrés Ríos revealed that the Argentine Santiago Solari would be in the deck of candidates to take over the team’s technical bench.
About Solari, he is a coach made at Real Madrid, a team where he was a youth coach, until he reached Real Madrid Castilla in the 2016-17 season, in 2018 he was part of the first team when he reached the Club World Cup, the only title in his record as a coach. After his time with the ‘merengue’ team where he was listed as a player, he ended up at América de México, where he was from December 2020 until the end of February 2022 when he was dismissed from his position.
Santiago is 45 years old, as a footballer, he developed in the position of midfielder. He made his professional debut with River Plate in 1996, making the leap to European football in 1999, when he signed for Atlético de Madrid. In 2000 he was transferred to Real Madrid, where he stayed for five seasons (2000-2005), in which he won two Leagues, two Spanish Super Cups, one Champions League, one European Super Cup and one Intercontinental Cup. He was an absolute international with the Argentine national team for five years (1999-2004), totaling one goal in eleven official matches.
Regarding his style of play, Solari demands that his players maintain a high pace of play, one that is suffocating for the rivals and sustained throughout the entire match. The goal is to end up tipping the balance in your favor by getting the opponent to accumulate minutes of running without the ball, with little rest. In the offensive phase, he proposes a ball exit in a combinative way.
