Colo-Colo's New Coach Confirmed Amidst Internal Power Struggle

Colo-Colo Appoints Almirón as New Coach Amidst Internal Divisions Santiago, Chile – In a surprising turn of events, Jorge Almirón has been officially confirmed as the new head coach of Chilean football club Colo-Colo. The announcement came late Wednesday night following a board meeting of Blanco y Negro, the club's managing company. The appointment comes amidst reports of significant internal divisions within the club's leadership. ADN Radio's Cristian Alvarado reported live from outside the meeting venue, capturing the atmosphere of anticipation and eventual confirmation. Alvarado stated, "There's a very clear division between the Vial and Aníbal Mosa blocs within the club." This division reportedly played a role in the recent uncertainty surrounding the coaching position. Aníbal Mosa, a key figure in the club's leadership, confirmed Almirón's appointment. The confirmation followed discussions between the club and Almirón's representative, Pablo Del Río. Almirón's contract is valid until December 2026, ensuring continuity for the team. Despite the internal strife, the appointment of Almirón brings a sense of stability to Colo-Colo as they prepare for upcoming matches against Atlético Bucaramanga and Unión La Calera. The club hopes this decision will unite the factions and focus the team on achieving its goals for the season.
