América de Cali does not want to make mistakes and that is why it has taken its time to make a firm decision regarding who would be the replacement for Venezuelan César Farías, in the technical direction.
Although nothing has been officially said about it, a very close source from América told El País that “put the signature that ‘Polilla’ returns”, alluding to the Uruguayan’s time as a scarlet player in the 1990s. 90, and later as coach of the red team in the 2017-2018 seasons.
The version was later corroborated by other media, which assured that Da Silva will fulfill his contract with Muaither SC of the second division of Qatar, a relationship that ends in the middle of this year, and will immediately pack his bags to take the reins of one of the largest teams in Colombia.
The challenge that Da Silva has with América, in case the team makes it official and no last-minute problems arise, is to take the red team to the first places, make them champions, which is what their large fans demand, and classify them for tournaments internationals, which is the exam that the eleventh from Valle del Cauca has had pending for several years.
The first half of 2024 was a resounding failure for América, but also one of mistakes on the part of the managers, who with just a few days left before the start of League I, surprisingly cut off the process with the young coach Lucas González, later opting for the Venezuelan César Farías.
The hard blow for the Scarlets materialized later with the elimination of the home runs, a situation that generated a lot of discomfort among the managers, who decided to dismiss the Venezuelan coach.
