San Lorenzo de Almagro has announced Iker Muniain as its new coach. This decision has sparked debate about experience in top-tier football. Muniain arrives at Boedo after managing only one season at Derio, a team in the fifth division of Spanish football.
What's happening with experience at San Lorenzo de Almagro?
In the last decade, the club has bet on coaches without experience in the top tier. Claudio Biaggio was the first in 2017, after a successful stint in the Reserves.
San Lorenzo de Almagro's background
Diego Monarriz and Leandro Romagnoli have also passed through the team without prior experience in the top tier. Damián Ayude was the last to try.
What's next for San Lorenzo de Almagro?
Muniain's arrival has a different flavor, as he doesn't come from San Lorenzo de Almagro's youth ranks. However, he shares with all of them a central trait: he will take the helm with little experience in the First Division.
