Coaching Changes, Key Wins, Logistics Reshape Argentine Club Football

Shifts in coaches, results, schedules, transfers, venues are changing clubs' promotion preparations for continental competition.

Overview

  • Colón completed the hire of Iván Delfino and returned him to the bench for the match with San Telmo while the club moved its Patronato fixture to a Saturday in Santa Fe to adjust its schedule.
  • San Telmo appointed Aníbal Biggeri and the new coach debuted with a needed victory in the days before visiting Colón.
  • This weekend several results re‑ordered tables: Gimnasia rose to the top of Zona B, Argentinos Juniors remained the only team with a perfect record in the Clausura, Huracán beat San Lorenzo at the Nuevo Gasómetro for the first time since 2001, and Mitre won to widen its gap from the relegation zone.
  • Rosario Central is negotiating a possible sale of Jaminton Campaz to Mexico, a developing transfer that the club says could be decided soon and that may affect registration and selection for its Copa Libertadores squad.
  • Deportivo Recoleta confirmed it will move its Boca Juniors home tie to a larger stadium and offer 20,000 tickets, a commercial decision meant to boost revenue and atmosphere for the Sudamericana tie.
