Paulo Autuori will have its second cycle with National Athletic. The 66-year-old Brazilian coach will seek revenge with the purslane team following a discreet presentation in the six months he spent between 2018 and 2019.
In his first step with the Paisa team, he played 29 games and had a performance of 46% thanks to 10 wins, 10 draws and 9 losses between the League, Libertadores and Sudamericana.
In this opportunity, the counselor will find himself with enough tools to impose his style of play.
Auturoi, who has in his resume the Copa Libertadores titles with Cruzeiro (1997) and Sao Paulo (2005); and the Club World Cup that same year with that last cast, he found that time in Nacional with the impossibility of hiring players due to Cortuluá’s demand in the case of Fernando Uribe, which limited his process.
Then, despite the fact that he began to like his game idea, on May 23, 2019, following losing 4-1 to Fluminense in the Maracaná stadium for the South American Cup, he decided to step aside.
At that time, in his team he had José Fernando Cuadrado; Gilberto García, Daniel Bocanegra, Nicolás Hernández, Déiver Machado; Sebastián Gómez, Brayan Rovira, Juan Pablo Ramírez, Vladimir Hernández, Pablo Ceppelini and Hernán Barcos. In addition, he had few alternatives on the bench: Christian Vargas, Cristian Moya, Cristian Blanco, David Agudelo, Brandon Caicedo, Yílmar Velásquez and Aldo Leao Ramírez.
