Gustavo Quinteros has two goals with Velez: win the Professional League, a tournament in which Fortín is the only leader, and the Argentine Cup, where he will play the semi-final against Boca, next Wednesday in Córdoba. Certainly for its effectiveness He was interested in Santos, the team that won promotion to Serie A in the Brasileirao.
Peixe fired coach Fabio Carille after winning the Serie B title, due to the rejection of a large part of the team. The information was revealed by the Globoesporte website, according to which the management is collecting information on the working style and working methodology of the Argentine, with a past in the national teams of Ecuador and Bolivia, as well as in Colo Colo.
He is not the only candidate, Luís Castro, Renato Gaúcho who would leave Gremio (Hernán Crespo is a candidate) and the possibility of Cuca’s return is also in the orbit. Despite the interest, an offer has not yet been made to Quinteros, which is rational because with so much attention paid to Liniers it would be difficult for Quinteros to analyze a proposal.
Quintero numbers
The 59-year-old coach, also a Bolivian national, coached Vélez in 48 matches. They have won 25, drawn 16 and lost just seven. In the first half of the year they reached the League Cup final, which they lost to Estudiantes de La Plata.
Interview between Time.news Editor and Football Expert
Editor: Welcome, everyone, to Time.news! Today, we have an exciting discussion lined up about the world of football, particularly focusing on Velez Sarsfield and their coach, Gustavo Quinteros. Joining us is football expert, Alejandro Serrano. Thank you for being here, Alejandro!
Alejandro: Thank you for having me! It’s a pleasure to discuss these developments in Argentine football.
Editor: Let’s dive right in. Gustavo Quinteros seems to have a clear vision for Velez. He’s looking to clinch both the Professional League and the Argentine Cup. How significant is it for a coach to aim for multiple titles, especially when one of them is a prestigious tournament like the Argentine Cup?
Alejandro: It’s immensely significant. Winning the Professional League establishes a team’s consistency and dominance over a longer period, while the Argentine Cup represents knockout-style pressure, where a single bad performance can eliminate you. For Quinteros, winning both would not only elevate the club’s stature but also strengthen his credentials as a top coach in South America.
Editor: Velez is currently the sole leader of the Professional League, which must give them a psychological edge. How does this position affect their approach heading into the semi-finals against Boca Juniors?
Alejandro: Absolutely. Leading the league provides a sense of confidence and momentum. Players often feel more at ease when they know they’re performing well. However, a match against Boca Juniors is always a different beast. The historical rivalry can create immense pressure, but their current form should help them approach this semi-final with optimism.
Editor: Speaking of Boca, they are one of the most celebrated teams in Argentina. What strategies do you think Quinteros should employ to give Velez the best chance of success in that match?
Alejandro: Defensively solidifying the backline is crucial against a team like Boca that has attacking firepower. Quinteros might also focus on quick counter-attacks to exploit spaces left by Boca’s attacking play. Furthermore, controlling the midfield will be essential to dictate the pace of the game.
Editor: Recently, Santos FC showed interest in Quinteros, especially after their promotion back to the Serie A. What does this indicate about his growing reputation as a coach?
Alejandro: It’s a significant acknowledgment of his coaching abilities. Santos has a rich history and demands high standards, so their interest reflects not only Quinteros’s current success with Velez but also his potential to lead at higher levels. Coaches who can manage pressure and deliver results are always in demand, especially in competitive leagues like Serie A.
Editor: That leads me to ask about the situation with Santos firing their coach, Fabio Carille, shortly after a promotion. What does this say about the expectations for coaches in top-flight football?
Alejandro: It highlights the cutthroat nature of professional football. Even after achieving a goal like promotion, if the management senses discontent among players or other issues, they won’t hesitate to make a change. It underscores the pressure coaches face to not only achieve results but also maintain harmony within the squad.
Editor: what do you think is next for Velez and Quinteros if they achieve their objectives this season?
Alejandro: If Quinteros manages to win both titles, it would solidify his position at Velez and potentially open doors to bigger clubs, either domestically or abroad. Success breeds opportunities, and fans would expect him to continue building a strong team, possibly aiming for international competitions next.
Editor: Thank you, Alejandro, for sharing your insights. It’s clear that the coming weeks are crucial for both Gustavo Quinteros and Velez Sarsfield. We’ll be watching closely as they pursue their goals in the Professional League and Argentine Cup.
Alejandro: Thank you for having me! Looking forward to the matches ahead.
