Deportivo Pasto appoints René Rosero as interim head coach

Deportivo Pasto has announced a change in its technical leadership following a difficult start to the Liga BetPlay 2026-II season. The club appointed René Rosero, also known as ‘Neveras Vacias’, as the interim head coach, supported by assistant Wilson Morelo.

The decision follows a period of poor performance, including five consecutive defeats and a recent home loss to Llaneros. While the club's official statement, signed by president Roberto Castro, confirms the new coaching staff, it does not explicitly state the reason for the departure of Spanish manager Jonathan Risueño.

Reports suggest the club may be seeking a way to resolve Risueño's contract to avoid the economic consequences of a unilateral termination. Risueño's tenure was marked by sporting challenges and public tensions with the local press, including a notable confrontation with journalists in February.
