The former coach of Mouth Diego Martinez will direct for the first time abroad and will arrive in Paraguay to take control of Cerro Porteñoas reported by the club on its social networks.
In recent days it was rumored that the 34-time champion of Paraguay had everything agreed with the Argentine coach, after negotiating directly with him and reaching an agreement.
In turn, “Azulgrana” qualified for Phase 2 of the Libertadores Cup 2025, where it could cross Boca, in the event that “Xeneize” manages to qualify.
This was confirmed by the Guaraní team’s journalist Daniel Maciel: “If everything goes as expected, Diego Martínez could be the new coach of Cerro Porteño in the next few hours. Just as we had been announcing that, of all the names that were thrown around before, there was one that was that the Manager and the Football Department like, today I can assure you that it is Professor Martínez.”
Martínez comes from directing Boca, less than three months ago, where he replaced Miguel Almirón and directed 45 official matches with the “Xeneize” shirt, where he obtained 21 victories, 13 draws and 11 losses.
On the other hand, with the La Ribera team, he was eliminated in the semifinals of the League Cup, in the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana and did not conclude the Professional League or the Argentine Cup.
Cerro Porteño arrives as the best team in the annual table, without being champion, and will enter the competition in the second phase prior to the group stage.
The Paraguayan club posted a photo of the Argentine coach wearing the “Azulgrana” shirt along with the phrase: “Welcome to the most popular.”
The post was accompanied by a message confirming the news: “Diego Martínez is the new coach of the Ciclón de Barrio Obrero. Welcome to the Most Popular, Profe!”
