Cúcuta Deportivo has undergone significant changes during the 2026-II Liga BetPlay season. Following a difficult start where the team earned only one point from twelve possible matches, the club announced the departure of manager Richard Páez and assistant Jorge Durán by mutual agreement. Páez had led the team for six months, recording a 27% success rate.

In an effort to improve its standing at the bottom of the reclassification table, the club signed winger Nelson Quiñones as a free agent. The 23-year-old joins from the MLS, with a contract running through December 31.
