America’s largest shareholder, Tulio Gomezrecently spoke with the Antena 2 program in Cali regarding the possibility of looking for a coach following finishing the I-2022 League, taking into account the “divorce” with Juan Carlos Osorio. But are they really thinking regarding his departure and analyzing possible coaches? The scarlet manager said that they do not stop receiving resumes.
“He has an exit clause for June, there the compensation is worth less. The other is 15 months. The coaching staff of America I think he is the most expensive in the country“, Gómez said, acknowledging that he does not see a way out of the situation unless Osorio’s América convinces him with an improvement in his game. However, he does not seem very convinced.
“We have failed, the performance has been very bad. Hopefully we will improve, but the way we play has not worked for us. Maybe you need another player profile, but with what we have. We have two eliminations and Huila put us in the last octagonal because he beat Envigado. One cannot hide failures. The payroll we have is not the best, but it is not the worst either,” added the manager of America.
Tulio acknowledged that with Osorio “we meet and talk, we have a good deal,” denying that there is a bad relationship with the coach. Despite this, everything indicates that the relationship will come to an end in June. “Let’s see what happens, but one is always watching. The team starts losing and everyone starts sending resumes“, recognized Tulio regarding the new technical options.
And the controversial phrases of part and part? In this regard, the maximum scarlet shareholder mentioned that “I am a lover of phrases and I put them according to the mood.”
He was also critical of the football that the team has been showing and said what they might improve to find the way, will Osorio pay attention to him? “In a counterattack anyone can score a goal for us, so I think we have to be more defensive. Ochoa Uribe won titles with a strong defense and Once Caldas won the Copa Libertadores as a defensive end. Tolima is a winning team because it stands up well in the defense”.
Finally, Gómez was concerned regarding the high number of injuries. “We have ten players in the medical department. Some have been injured training and others playing, but I think there is a flaw there. (Iago) Falque was fine and played, but in training he was injured. We have never had so many injuries and we have to check what needs to be corrected. This year we haven’t been able to have the whole team in full”.
