“Economic difficulties is the reason for my departure from Deportivo Cali”: Hernando Arias

Professor Hernando Arias was notified on Thursday that he will not continue at Deportivo Cali where he had been serving as General Director of Cantera of the sugar cadre.

Arias, with a long career in professional football where he was part of several squads as a physical trainer, was verbally informed of his non-continuity in the sugar institution by a member of the executive committee.

“They sent me right with a member of the executive committee, although they have not officially notified me. But it is a fact,” Arias said in a chat with El País de Cali.

According to what was expressed by the manager who notified the graduate in physical education, the difficult economic situation that the institution is going through at this time due to the crisis of the break due to the Covid-19 pandemic, was the main cause for the decision of its decoupling.

“The economic difficulties was the reason for my departure according to the reason that the president sent me. I think that when they notify me I will know the exact reason,” he said.

Hernando Arias was one of the longest-serving officials in the Verdiblanco club. In this last stage he spent 12 years and in two previous cycles he had added 6 seasons.

For its part, Deportivo Cali in an official statement released on Thursday night specified that “a process of negotiation has begun with Professor Hernando Arias for his separation. We will continue in private dialogues between the parties to define the conditions.”
