The hot seat that is the technical direction of Atlético Nacional It continues without a permanent guest and, whether due to the initiative of the businessmen or the real initiative of the club, the candidates follow each other almost daily.
The dismissal of Alejandro Restrepo and the subsequent elimination of the team from the Copa Libertadores, which represents a severe economic and sporting blow, would make the board opt for the foreign coach, although there are not a few voices that ask for an opportunity for Hernán Darío Herrera, current interim DT .
Someone with international experience is almost a necessity for the owners of the Antioquia club, who have taken the necessary time not to continue making mistakes, after going through foreigners like Guimaraes, Autuori, Almirón and even Lillo, without achieving the successes of the era. Reinaldo Rueda.
Hernán Crespo would have already said no, but it does not mean that the Argentine school is ruled out. In fact, that’s where it comes from. the new candidate: Pablo Adrián Guede.
Whose? His experience as a player for Nueva Chicago and various mid-ranking Spanish teams may not say much, but as a coach there is a journey worth considering. The version of the journalist Pipe Sierra of Win Sports assures that there would already be official contacts and conversations about contractual details.
Guede directed Nueva Chicago and San Lorenzo in his country, Palestino and Colo Colo in Chile, he directed Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia and in Mexico he has directed Morelia, Tijuana and Necaxa since 2019. His most successful stage was in Colo Colo, a team with which he won the League, the Cup and the Super Cup twice, in addition to winning the Argentine Super Cup with San Lorenzo.
He is a coach with enough experience to be considered, that is undeniable. It will be necessary to see what direction the negotiation takes, with the insistent version about a possible return of Reinaldo Rueda if, as is feared, the Colombian National Team is eliminated from the World Cup in Qatar at the end of this month of March.
