Cerro Porteño managerial change

Overview

Cerro Porteño has undergone a managerial change following a period of poor results, including a loss in the Superclásico against Olimpia and elimination from the Copa Libertadores. The club terminated the tenure of Argentine manager Ariel Holan, who had been with the team since April.

Gustavo Costas has been appointed to replace Holan, marking a return to the Paraguayan club where he previously coached from 2005 to 2007. Costas described the appointment as a ‘beautiful challenge’ and expressed a commitment to restoring the team’s identity and morale.

Upon arriving in Paraguay, Costas stated he considers the country his “second home.” His primary objectives are to stabilize the squad following recent setbacks and work toward qualifying for international competitions.

In his first match following the coaching change, Cerro Porteño secured a 1-0 victory against Resistencia in the round of 32 of the Copa Paraguay. Although Resistencia created significant opportunities, Jorge Morel scored a decisive header in the 84th minute. This victory allows the club to advance to the round of 16 to face Rubio Ñu. Costas is expected to make his official technical debut this coming Sunday against Libertad.
