The transfer market for Colo Colo has not been good throughout the 2023 season. The latest additions have been heavily criticized for their poor performances and constant injuries.
From Fabián Castillo to Pablo Parra are some of the names that have not lived up to their expectations. Another to join this list is Dario Lezcano, a striker who didn’t have a chance with Gustavo Quinteros.
For this reason, in the Todos Somos Técnicos program, Juvenal Olmos has reviewed the Colocolinos trainers hired in recent semesters who have not appeared in Colo Colo.
Do you blame Gustavo Quinteros for strengthening Colo Colo?
The former coach of the Chilean team is clear. “He’s the technician. The Colo-Colo coach opens and closes the door for the arrival of a player. If you accept the fourth, you must assume it. There are many people responsible, but above all it is the coach,” he said.
He also added that “at the most critical and important moment of squad formation, the coach was not there.” The coach went to the World Cup. When you complete something, that boost lasts for the entire year. “He put it in the hands of management.”
Eventually he reviewed Blanco y Negro due to the waste of money and non-renewal of Gabriel Costa. “Colo-Colo ended up spending more money on players they had snapped up in the past rather than signing a good contract with Costa and having him from the start. That’s why I emphasize the importance of the coach in squad formation,” he explained.
What were the Cacique’s signings in 2023?
