The departure of Leonel Álvarez leaves fans with many questions about the immediate future of the team. Under Álvarez’s direction, Pereira has had a remarkable and outstanding performance, which makes this decision even more surprising. This year, Álvarez directed 25 games in the Betplay League, in which he obtained 12 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses.
Under the direction of Leonel, the Mateca team was one game away from reaching the grand final of the Betplay Leaguebut lost on their visit to Bucaramanga in a crucial match that they needed to at least draw to qualify.
Analysis of this situation reveals several points to consider. Firstly, the results obtained by Álvarez indicate a positive performance, placing Pereira as a competitive team that is difficult to beat. The termination of his contract may suggest irreconcilable differences in the long-term vision between the coach and the club’s board, or possible disagreements over the management of the team. Furthermore, this sudden change in coaching could have an impact on team morale and performance in the short term.
