On 2 August 2026, Club Atlético Colón’s board dismissed head coach Ezequiel Medrán after a 1‑1 draw with Acassuso left the team struggling in the Primera Nacional promotion race. Medrán, who had overseen 30 matches with an even record of wins, draws and losses, was replaced after the club began scouting former coaches.

Two days later, on 4 August 2026, the club announced the return of Iván Delfino as the new first‑team coach. Technical secretary Diego Colotto described Delfino as the “ideal profile” to lead the project, emphasizing a clean transition and the aim to strengthen the squad for the final stage of the tournament. Delfino held his first training session, introduced former player Paolo Goltz as his assistant, and signaled openness to adding another player if a roster spot opens, urging supporters to back the new staff as the promotion push continues.
