San Lorenzo Fires Néstor Gorosito After Brief Second Spell

The board ended his return, installed an interim coach, then launched a search for a permanent replacement.

Overview

  • San Lorenzo dismissed Gorosito on Tuesday after a 1-0 loss at Instituto that left the team near the bottom of the Torneo Clausura.
  • The coach’s short second spell ran less than two months and eight matches, producing seven points in seven league rounds and an early Copa Argentina exit on penalties to Deportivo Riestra.
  • Tensions inside the club preceded the decision, with the board convening a pre-training meeting to evaluate continuity and Gorosito publicly denying any intention to resign.
  • The club placed Walter Perazzo in charge of Tuesday’s training as an interim and has officially begun seeking a new head coach.
  • The change continues a pattern of turnover in 2026 that has unsettled the squad and leadership, and incoming loanee Facundo Farías will not be coached by Gorosito if he joins the first team immediately.
