Jorge Almirón Leaves Colo-Colo After Heavy Defeat; Aníbal Mosa Confirms Departure, Interim Duo Appointed Amid Board Resistance

Jorge Almirón has officially left his position as head coach of Colo-Colo following a heavy defeat against Universidad Católica, which confirmed the end of his tenure. Aníbal Mosa, a key figure at Blanco y Negro, the club's controlling entity, confirmed the conclusion of Almirón's cycle and indicated that the details of his departure were close to being finalized. The decision faced some internal resistance from the Blanco y Negro board, particularly from the Vial faction, which delayed the process and caused frustration for Mosa. Initially, Héctor Tapia was considered as an interim coach, but ultimately a different emergency coaching duo was appointed to lead the team. The departure agreement involved a financial settlement, though the exact amount was disclosed only later. The club is currently evaluating candidates to permanently replace Almirón, with some division among the board members regarding the choice. The transition comes amid heightened expectations and impatience from the Colo-Colo fanbase.
