2020 is about to end and, with just two days remaining, the National Championship continues to deliver surprises. The last one was the work of Eduardo Acevedo, former coach of University of Concepcion, who resigned live and made a powerful release.
The departure of the Uruguayan strategist surprised everyone and deprived “Campanil” of finishing the year with the same DT. In this item, Only six teams will finish the calendar season with the same name on the bench:
Universidad Católica (Ariel Holan), Unión La Calera (Juan Pablo Vojvoda), Santiago Wanderers (Miguel Ramírez), Cobresal (Gustavo Huerta), Huachipato (Gustavo Florentín) and Unión Española (Ronald Fuentes).
And the rest of the remaining cast? Here is the detail:
Audax Italiano: He started the tournament with Francisco Meneghini and, after a promising start, the team ended up declining in performance. Now its place was used by Pablo “Vitamina” Sánchez.
Colo Colo: the albos started the season with Mario Salas and on paper he promised. He managed to stay with the 2019 Chile Cup against the University of Chile, but his problems with the squad and bad results ended up removing him from office.
From there it was the turn of Gualberto Jara, who also could not lift the “Cacique” and showed an opaque level after the return of football after the pandemic. He was also dismissed and Gustavo Quinteros arrived in his replacement.
Coquimbo Unido: The “pirates” began their expedition in 2020 with Germán Corengia, however, the team’s performance went from bad to worse and, after a series of poor results, they abandoned ship. Juan José Ribera arrived through him and caused a revolution.
Together with his pupils, he led a historic campaign for the club in the Copa Sudamericana, in which they are still alive in the semifinals, while they fight to remain in the highest category of Chilean football.
Curicó Unido: Nicolás Larcamón was chosen by the Curicanos to guide the team during the national tournament. And he did not do anything bad, but a trip to Argentina condemned him and he left his position to go to Mexican soccer. His successor was Martín Palermo.
Sports Antofagasta: Like Colo Colo, the “pumas” have had three coaches in the year. They started with Juan Manuel Azconzábal and they were one of the best-playing teams in the competition.
But the pandemic ended up taking out the Argentine DT. In his place came Héctor Almandoz, who could not repeat what was done by his compatriot. He was dismissed and now Hector Tapia replaced him.
Sports Iquique: the nortinos began with Jaime Vera on the bench with the mission of remaining in the First Division. However, the results did not accompany him and the “Rascal” chose to resign. His successor and current DT is Cristián Leiva.
Sports La SerenaIf we talk about revolution, Miguel Ponce’s is the most prominent. The “papayeros” began the season with Francisco Bozán, a coach who achieved promotion in an emotional final.
However, his presentation in the national football elite went from bad to worse and he left the club after a historical and negative campaign. The “Chueco” was chosen to save the team and has not disappointed. He has the team out of the relegation zone and is excited about qualifying for an international tournament. Amazing.
Everton: Viñamarinos started the year with Javier Torrente, but irregularity always followed them. The draws ended up filling the patience of the “ruletera” leadership. And they ended up taking out the Argentine.
His replacement is a world-class name: Roberto Sensini. “Boquita”, with an outstanding career as a player, will try to guide the “Oro y Cielo” on the path of triumphs, as well as escape from the bottom of the weighted table.
O’Higgins: the celestial trusted Patricio Graff for 2020, but the good results never came. The “Pato” could not replicate what was done in Coquimbo Unido and left the Rancagüa team. Dalcio Giovagnoli replaced him and, for the moment, keeps the “Capo de Provincia” in the First Division.
Palestinian: Ivo Basay led the good campaign of the cisterninos in 2019 and started this season on the bench with the illusion of repeating what was done last season. But he did not succeed and the poor results doomed him.
His place was taken by José Luis Sierra, who, for now, managed to raise the level of the “Arab” cast and escaped from the lower zone of the classification.
University of Chile: The Blues started the year with the mission of forgetting the very poor image they left in the previous season with Hernán Caputto on the bench. The former U goalkeeper had a promising start, but the team lost its identity and game as the dates went by.
The students moved quickly and brought in Rafael Dudamel to replace him. For the moment, the panorama remains the same and, even, more complex in La Cisterna.
University of Concepción: the “Campanil” was the last team to get rid of their DT. Eduardo Acevedo also had a difficult task and despite starting very badly, he managed to lift his pupils and had a very outstanding lossless streak.
Similarly, the team decreased in performance again, added to a series of reasons that the strategist delivered live, they ended up making him resign.
