Another Coaching Casualty
By: Jeremy | March 11th, 2009Following Estudiantes defeat to Deportivo Quito in Ecuador in a Group 5 Copa Libertadores tie, head coach Leonardo Astrada resigned, citing the run of bad results as the reason.
Early talk for replacements includes two groups of co-coaches – Alejandro Sabella and Julián Camino with Fernando Gamboa and Ariel Zapata also getting mentioned. Sabella has tons of coaching experience as Daniel Passarella number 2, and I have to admit that I don’t know much about Camino, other than I think he and Sabella were teammates on title winning Estudiantes’ squads back in the 80’s.
Gamboa has fresh coaching experience with Newell’s Old Boys while Ariel Zapata just retired from playing for Newell’s.
I can understand the Sabella/Camino thing, but I’m not sure where the Gamboa/Zapata combo comes from. I’ve got to think another candidate will come forward in the next day or two, so we’ll see who gets the nod.
