Confirmed the non-continuity of Alexandre Guimares as coach of America, the red team began to receive resumes of coaches who want to lead the current Colombian champion.
One of the close names is that of the Spanish Miguel Ángel López, little known in the middle, with a very short step by Delfín from Ecuador, he was an assistant at Getafe, and admitted in dialogue with the program ‘De taquito con Marino’, that indeed, some businessmen proposed it as a replacement for Guimaraes.
“I was in Cali in January, playing several friendly games and had the opportunity to speak with Tulio Gómez by phone. Currently there is an intermediary group that has brought my name closer to the club,” said the coach.
López stated that “In Colombia I have many friends, I have been giving some virtual conferences. But in January I did not speak with Tulio Gómez about any possibility of leading America in the second semester.”
Regarding his style as a coach, the Spaniard stated that “I am a person who moves for sports interests, I like processes and betting on young players. A prestigious club that allows the projection of new talents, it is very interesting for me as coach”.
López was an assistant to renowned coaches such as the Danish Michael Laudrup, the German Bernd Schuster and the Spanish Quique, Michel, Víctor Muñoz and Luis García, at Getafe.
He also worked with the Romanian coach Cosmin Contra and with the Serbian Miroslav Dukic, and already as a technician in summer ownership at the helm of Recreativo de Huelva in Spain, the Equatorial Guinea National Team and finally the Ecuadorian Dolphin, where he barely lasted four games. .
America, as announced by President Mauricio Romero, will take time to choose the new coach. For now, Jersson González will be in charge of the works.
