The flashes and illusions triggered by the arrival of Iker Muniain to San Lorenzo lasted more than a short time. And the cruel sporting and institutional reality of the Ciclón devoured the star incorporation from Europe. Now the former Athletic Bilbao was left without a coach. The thing is Leandro Romagnoli He presented his resignation one day after the 1-1 draw against Godoy Cruz. The Barça future is a mystery.
The equality in Mendoza had a specific circumstance in the last play. San Lorenzo had a penalty in their favor. The designated one was Iker Muniain and in the second instance Iván Leguizamón. They were both in the field. However, the center forward Francisco Fydriszewsky asked to execute, who as if he did not understand the Ciclón’s urgencies “chopped” him with little force and precision, and the goalkeeper Franco Petroli saved him.
As the team has been finding it difficult to win and play well, as on the next date San Lorenzo will be home precisely against Rubén Darío Insua’s Barracas Central (the coach fired before Romagnoli took office) and knowing that the weather at the Pedro Bidegain stadium It will be thick, Pipi chose to present his resignation on the evening of Sunday in Argentina. And President Marcelo Moretti accepted it.
Romagnoli is the player with the most titles won in the history of San Lorenzo and was always at the club’s disposal once he retired, both to lead the reserve, to be manager or to take charge of the professional team before the cycle ended. abruptly from a couple of technicians.
That is why the club bid him farewell warmly on its social networks: “Today afternoon, Leandro Romagnoli informed president Marcelo Moretti of his decision to stop being the coach of San Lorenzo. We only have words of gratitude for Pipi and his coaching staff for their work, their dedication and especially for always prioritizing the needs of San Lorenzo above all else. With the pain that the most winning player in history will not continue at the Club, we say goodbye to him with the certainty that in the future our paths will meet again. Thank you very much, Pipi! San Lorenzo is your home!”
Sports and institutional crisis
San Lorenzo is not only going through a sports crisis.

For now, San Lorenzo will now look for a new coach. The great candidate is Pablo Guede, who already led the team in 2016, when they won the Argentine Super Cup (final won by a landslide against Boca) and were runners-up in the league (final lost by a landslide against Lanús).
