América de Cali continues to generate news despite being eliminated from Liga BetPlay 2024-I and given the departure of coach César Farías, the club is still searching for a new strategist for the second semester.
In recent weeks, several names have been mentioned, Hernán Torres and Alejandro Restrepo being the strongest, but that possibility has decreased after the refusals of both coaches.
This time, the one who made his position clear was Hernán Torres, who at a press conference assured that there are no possibilities of directing América and confirmed that he is comfortable in Emelec.
“They are rumors, I am here in Emelec and I am happy. Since I arrived here, the first day they wanted to kick me out. The people here support me, you support me, you criticize me when we fail, you praise us when we win, which is your role,” Torres said.
In this way, there is one less candidate to lead América and although Tulio Gómez, the largest shareholder, stated that it was already defined, the truth is that there is still no white smoke regarding the new helmsman.
Hernán Torres in Emelec has managed to direct 33 games between the Pro and Sudamericana Leagues, while in the current season in the local tournament his team is fifth with 20 points.
