The arrival of Gustavo Quinteros as the new coach of Colo Colo has renewed the illusions of the fans, who hope that the Argentine will manage to lift the team from its terrible sporting moment that has it penultimate in the standings.

His arrival at the Cacique generates consensus not only in the board of directors. The strategist comes with an important track record in different leagues in South America, in addition to the fact that he already knows the environment through his time at Universidad Católica, where, in addition, he prevailed with much difference to the rest of the teams.

Some former values ​​of the Cacique and who today work as coaches, valued the arrival of a name like Quinteros, although they maintain their work will be difficult. Fernando Vergara, starting striker of the unforgettable team led by Gustavo Benítez, pointed to the makeup of the squad and the lack of sports policies.

“In the conformation of the establishment they have not done well in Colo Colo, we have to start from that base. This team is made up of many coaches, that is something that has been left aside worldwide, since the formation of the teams is the responsibility of the sports directors. There is the issue. This is the result of bad sports policy. The coach (Gustavo Quinteros) may or may not have his character, but first he has to deal with a poorly formed squad “, the former striker began.

Quinteros had his first approach with the Colo Colo squad.

Cristián Saavedra, Claudio Borghi’s technical assistant in the successful process that culminated in a four-time championship added that “Unfortunately Gustavo Quinteros, who, although he knows the reality of Chilean football, does not know about the current situation in Colo Colo. His level is undoubted, but it is also difficult to see how the team is doing, it can be difficult for him at the moment of Colo Colo “.

Another who spoke of the present albo is Rodrigo Mélendez, four-time champion with the albos and now DT de Colina. “It is not very good in terms of results and what we expect from a Colo Colo that has to be used to fighting at the top”, he exposed.




Tips for Quinteros

From the side of the knowledge they have of the pressure of being in Colo Colo, the three interviewees took advantage of advising Quinteros to be able to raise the performance of a team that in the last games did not play anything.

“The easiest thing is to consult with the people who are below, to see the type of players that Colo Colo needs, those who have been at the club for years, such as Lizardo Garrido, Luis Mena or Luis Hormazábal, to get to know them. Colo Colo is not an easy thing, because the fan kills you or loves you. It is a very complicated time that you are living, it is a double-edged sword. It will be difficult, he may have many notions of what the club is. He has to start winning every game, so that people want him ”Saavedra said.

“An advice? What can I say to Don Gustavo? He is an experienced man, a man with a much broader career than mine. He has been in national teams and big teams. Surely you know where you arrive and the dressing room management you have to have. It must be much clearer than me “, complemented Kalule Mélendez.

More drastic was Fernando Vergara, who insisted on the complications that the Argentine will find in los albos. “Maybe with a heavy hand it will work out, but the most important thing here is the approach in the games, the game plan, especially in the players you have. The coach has to be part of a club project, previous coaches have brought in players even on the recommendation of representatives, but without a sports policy behind. It will be difficult for Quinteros, if even the middle says that ‘the savior has arrived’. The coach is part of a project, and if there isn’t a good sports project behind it, obviously there won’t be good results “, he sentenced.
