San Lorenzo de Almagro is experiencing days of profound institutional and sports transformations. With the assumption of the new management led by Marcelo Culotta, the club's structure began to reorganize quickly with a clear objective: to enhance the base.
The morning informative session in Boedo began with a strong institutional novelty. Hand in hand with the sports director Walter Perazzo, San Lorenzo officially presented Christian Dougherty as the new Youth Football Coordinator.
Dougherty, who has a solid background as a technical director, physical education teacher, a master's degree in Sports Psychology, and is an expert in Sports Coaching, arrives to occupy the place left by Marcelo Romano after the change of management.
This restructuring coincides perfectly with the needs of the professional team. Coach Gustavo Álvarez decided to open the doors wide to young promises. Facing a demanding second semester and after the elimination in the Copa Sudamericana, the technical staff opted to drastically expand the list of called-up players for the preseason.
Among the most notable additions to the list of concentrated players is Juan Avaca, a left-handed midfielder from the Fourth Division. Category 2006 and from Santa Rosa, La Pampa, Avaca measures 1.80 meters and is profiled as a highly interesting alternative for a position that the technical staff had marked as a priority to reinforce in the transfer market.
| Player | Age | Position |
|---|---|---|
| Juan Avaca | 17 | Midfielder/Attacking midfielder |
| Benjamín Ruberto | 16 | Left back |
| Thiago Hidalgo | 15 | Winger/Left back |
| Nicasio Dorado | 14 | Goalkeeper |
