Colo Colo Shakes Up Coaching Staff: Almirón's Exit on the Table

Colo Colo's Board Votes to Begin Negotiations for Almirón's Departure Santiago, Chile – In a surprising turn of events, the board of directors of Blanco y Negro, Colo Colo's governing body, voted 5-4 on May 21st to initiate negotiations for the departure of head coach Jorge Almirón. This decision comes despite Almirón having a contract that extends until 2026. ADN Radio's Cristián Alvarado reported from outside the Estadio Monumental following the meeting. "The board met in an extraordinary session," Alvarado stated, "and the central topic was the continuity of Jorge Almirón." The vote to begin negotiations signals a significant shift in the club's direction. The financial aspects of Almirón's potential departure are substantial. Sources suggest that the negotiations will center around a severance package potentially reaching $1.2 million. While the club president, Aníbal Mosa, is expected to lead these negotiations with Almirón's representative, Pablo del Río, the outcome remains uncertain. Alvarado noted that "the next 48 hours will be crucial in finalizing this exit." Despite the uncertainty, Colo Colo continues to prepare for upcoming matches, with Almirón currently remaining as the team's coach. The club's fans await the resolution of this situation with bated breath.
