Néstor Gorosito has been dismissed as head coach of San Lorenzo de Almagro, a move that comes as the club struggles in the Liga Profesional Argentina. San Lorenzo's management decided not to continue with his project and agreed to pay him three months' salary to terminate his contract, as originally reported by www.americatv.com.pe. This change occurs during a difficult period for the club, which sits 14th in the table with just 7 points from seven games, having scored only two goals and conceded five.
What results led to the dismissal?
Gorosito managed eight matches for San Lorenzo in the Torneo Clausura. His record was two wins, one draw, and five losses. That poor run is part of a tough season for the team, which has a recent form of one win, one draw, and three losses in its last five matches. Also, the Cyclone lost its two most recent fixtures, including a 1-0 defeat to Instituto Cordoba on September 1st. The team is nine points behind the leaders, Instituto, highlighting the urgency for a change in direction. You can check the team's full situation in the league standings.
What is Gorosito's immediate future?
Shortly after his departure from San Lorenzo, Néstor Gorosito's name began gaining strength for a dugout at another historic Argentine institution. Outlet TyC Sports reported that "el nombre de Gorosito ha empezado a tomar fuerza para que se convierta en estratega de Aldosivi". The Mar del Plata club is seeking a replacement for Israel Damonte. Discussions between the parties reportedly began soon after Gorosito left his post at the Cyclone. Regarding this potential agreement, TyC Sports added that "a pesar que las charlas han comenzado ni bien dejó de ser técnico del 'Ciclón', todo hace indicar que se ha avanzado de gran forma".
What is the coach's background?
Néstor Gorosito arrives at this point following a career that includes recent international experience. Before his brief stint at San Lorenzo, the manager coached Peruvian club Alianza Lima. His performance abroad had previously sparked speculation about a possible return to a major Argentine club. Gorosito has also been an active voice in defense of the Argentine national team. In the context of the road to the 2026 World Cup, he publicly criticized former English footballer Gary Neville after Argentina's qualification for the final, defending the national side before the semifinal.
What's next for San Lorenzo?
With Gorosito gone, the focus in Boedo shifts to finding a new manager who can steer the sporting course back on track. The team faces an immediate significant challenge: a classic away match against Independiente on September 13th. Independiente is currently seventh in the table, promising a tough duel where San Lorenzo will look to end its losing streak. The squad must quickly adapt to new ideas in a tight schedule.
