Overview
- Álvarez stepped down at the start of pre-season after failing to reach agreement with the board, and players arrived to find no technical staff before Walter Perazzo took interim charge and led the first training.
- The rupture followed a proposal by Álvarez to list about 11 players as prescindible that the club later asked to change for three names because they included juveniles and players whose market value the club wanted to protect.
- Álvarez published a letter saying 'external pressures' and a lack of autonomy forced his resignation, while San Lorenzo issued a statement that the exit resulted from an unresolved disagreement on sporting planning and protecting club assets.
- Álvarez’s spell lasted three months and 13 matches, with a record of three wins, seven draws and three losses, and the team was eliminated in the Copa Sudamericana group stage during his tenure.
- The club, now under newly elected leadership that is restructuring institutional and sporting policy, has started a formal search for a new coach and has been linked unofficially to candidates such as Rubén Darío Insúa.
