Overview
- Palermo said Friday he expected to be training San Lorenzo within days and even pictured himself studying rivals at the Copa Sudamericana draw.
- He rejected reports linking Mauricio Macri to his salary, saying "Macri doesn't pay you even a coffee."
- He argued that politics and outside names warped the talks, stressing his friendship with Macri did not involve money or club decisions.
- San Lorenzo, which met with Palermo during its search, chose Gustavo Álvarez after dismissing coach Damián Ayude.
- Palermo said he has other offers, including from Gimnasia y Esgrima, but he will not return to manage in Argentina for now after his last stint at Platense in 2023 and spells in Chile, Mexico, Paraguay, and Brazil.
