Rosario Central and Ariel Holan Part Ways by Mutual Agreement

The split follows stalled contract talks alongside concern about the team’s knockout exits.

Overview

  • The club announced the decision on Thursday as a mutual separation, thanking Holan for the 2025 title and saying the doors remain open to him.
  • Reports say the move was agreed after a meeting between the coach and club leadership earlier in the day.
  • Holan will not lead Central in the 2026 Copa Libertadores after qualifying the team through its season-long points total.
  • His tenure included the AFA’s controversial award of the Liga 2025 trophy based on the annual table, and he traveled with the delegation to collect the cup in Buenos Aires.
  • Across roughly 42 matches, his record was 22 wins, 13 draws and 7 losses, with early exits in playoffs and the Copa Argentina cited in evaluations as the club begins a search for a successor for 2026.
