The technicians pass, the idols are burned, the fans get involved to unsuspected limits, and the sports and economic crisis remains. It is the reality of a Deportivo Cali that has just lost once morest Equidad 1-2, in Palmaseca, with interim Sergio ‘Checho’ Angulo on the bench.
Before, others who were figures as players burned out, as might happen to ‘Checho’, in this debacle that even threatens relegation. Already Rafael Dudamel, who was also a champion, and Mayer Candelo left the club in the worst possible way. That is why the decision of the next DT clearly does not go through those who were legends dressed in green.
As journalist JJ Miranda confirmed on the Saque Largo program, the chosen one is a letter to the landline, with brilliant experience and the great quality of being the master of the strong hand in Colombian soccer.
It’s very close to getting a hard hand to a great Colombian football… # Attentive

“The meeting between one of the directors of Deportivo Cali and Jorge Luis Pinto will be in Bogotá,” the communicator announced, confirming the versions.
According to Miranda, he has learned from the latest mistakes and will bet on a man who will not only impose a discipline regimen that is necessary for many, but will bet on the quarry as a source of solution to all the problems. This time they will not offer illusions but very specific realities, with which it will be the experienced World Cup coach with Costa Rica in 2014 who will decide whether to take the risk or not.
If he accepts, it would be his second stage at the head of the sugar club, which he directed between 1990 and 1991.
Pinto’s last stage directing in the country was in Millonarios, in 2019, when he had a great campaign, with a record of points, but failed to reach the final. His assistant was the late Freddy Rincón.
