Emelec has undergone personnel changes during the 2026 LigaPro season. In early August, the club signed 29-year-old Ecuadorian striker Ronnie Carrillo from Mushuc Runa on a one-year contract with performance-based extension options.

By late August, the club introduced Argentine manager Ezequiel Medrán, who replaced Cristian Nasuti. Medrán secured a 2-1 victory in his debut match against Leones FC, with Aníbal Leguizamón scoring a stoppage-time header to win the game. The club is currently working to avoid the relegation zone and pursue a spot in the Copa Sudamericana.
