Waiting for a successor for Leandro Stillitano, Pedro Monzón took over this Monday as Independiente’s interim coach and led the team’s practice ahead of the Argentine Cup commitment next Sunday in La Plata.
After the dismissal of Stillitano, who was dismissed from his position by the club’s leadership after the 2-2 draw against Colón de Santa Fe in Avellaneda, Monzón was in charge of the morning practice of the squad at the Villa Domínico property. The until now coach of the Reserve is shaping up to lead next Sunday’s game against Ciudad de Bolívar, for the 32nd. of the final of the Argentine Cup, a match that will be played at the Ciudad de La Plata-Diego Maradona Stadium.
Although there is no official information and at the moment there is no firm candidate after Ariel Holan’s refusal, the leadership’s idea is to announce the new coach before the next date of the Professional League, which will be against San Lorenzo as a visitor after the break this weekend for the FIFA date.
Before the training session directed by Monzón, Stillitano went to greet the squad and collaborators after the decision of the Independiente leadership to fire him after Saturday night’s draw against Colón at the Libertadores de América-Ricardo Bochini stadium. The young coach led “Red” just eight dates, with a win (on the first date against Talleres, 1-0 in Córdoba), five draws and two losses.
