Through an official statement, the scarlet squad announced that a few days before the start of the competition they decided to do without the services of the Bogota native: “América de Cali informs its fans, the media and the general public that the technical director “Lucas González will not continue leading the professional team.”
After this, speculation began to swirl regarding who would take charge of the project for 2024 just a few days before the tournaments begin. SEMANA investigated and learned that the intention of the red directives is to go for an international coach, following not feeling satisfied with the performance of those who were currently there.

Thus, the first name that this medium was able to know is that of Ricardo Gareca, former player of the club and until recently coach of Vélez Sarsfield and the Peruvian National Team. The choice of this name would be made by President Marcela Gómez, who would like to start her mandate with a quality hit in front of the red fans.
Francisco ‘Pacho’ Vélez, renowned sports journalist, also said that there would be names like Santiago ‘Sachi’ Escobar, Luis Fernando Suárez and César Farias in the pipeline to join the reds. It will take hours to know which one will be chosen, because with the news from America in recent days any surprise would end up happening.

What happened to Lucas González in America?
In addition to this, SEMANA was able to learn that since last Saturday, along with the transaction of Arturo Vidal to the club, the possible arrival of another coach to take charge of the project was moving under the table. However, González and his team did not expect his departure to happen so soon.
Another of those who has followed up on Lucas’ departure is Jaime Dinas, a journalist who has shown his lack of affinity with the outgoing González. Going out to collect, he pointed out: “The dismissal of the “gravedigger” is not surprising, an arrogant, arrogant and cretin, who believes he is above the team and América de Cali cannot lead.”

To complement, he went so far as to blame the Bogota native for bad practices and also assured that because of them in national football he had lost total credibility: “He left America because he was “caught” in “tactical” maneuvers that I want to keep and for that reason in the League. Betlplay. NO team will hire him, so the “pig” is another one.”
