The coffee growers also defeated Brazil for the first time in the history of the qualifiers and in that same World Cup process they beat Argentina.
Lorenzo’s work has been so good that he even ended Colombia’s 21-year streak without going to a final, taking them to the final match of the 2024 Copa América, a match that they ended up losing to Argentina.
All this has caused the fans of the Colombian National Team to become very fond of the Argentine strategist, as many believe that he brought joy back to the entire team.
And this affection and respect is mutual, Lorenzo surprised all the people who came to the concentration hotel in Barranquilla. The Argentine strategist took time to take photos and sign autographs.
In the images, you can see the affection that all Colombian fans feel for the Argentine Néstor Lorenzo.
