Colo-Colo Confirms Jorge Almirón Exit After Heavy Loss; Aníbal Mosa Confirms, Bloque Vial Pauses, Tito Tapia Interim

Jorge Almirón's tenure as head coach of Chilean football club Colo-Colo is coming to an end following a heavy defeat against Universidad Católica. Club president Aníbal Mosa confirmed the conclusion of Almirón's cycle at Colo-Colo and indicated that the details of his departure are close to being finalized. The loss to Universidad Católica intensified dissatisfaction among fans and within the club. However, the so-called 'Bloque Vial' faction within the club has temporarily halted the process of Almirón's exit, leading to internal disagreements and frustration from Mosa. Meanwhile, discussions about potential replacements for Almirón are underway, with an interim coach, 'Tito' Tapia, being appointed. Former Colo-Colo coach Claudio Borghi has publicly warned the club regarding the interim appointment. The situation remains unsettled as the club navigates the transition amid fan unrest and internal conflicts.
