Romagnoli and the San Lorenzo crisis: from the “positive” semester to the “economic problem”

The former coach of Saint Lawrence, Leandro Romagnolispoke about the definition of the championship of the Professional League and chose his candidate. He also made an x-ray of the Boedo club, which is immersed in a severe crisis, both sporting and institutional, and that is why the fans exploded against everyone.

Romagnoli spoke exclusively with Traigan La Redonda from Radio Assembly and told who he prefers to win the Professional League between Talleres, Vélez and Huracán. “I’m leaning towards Vélez for Sunday because they were a more solid team,” “Pipi” said honestly.

The 43-year-old coach said that he is listening to offers to coach again and defined his last time at San Lorenzo as positive.

“We had six positive months in San Lorenzo”he stated, despite the fact that the results, and especially the game, were not good. And then he added that the drawbacks at the Boedo club go beyond football: “The problem is economic”.

Regarding the youth of the “Ciclón”, and all of Argentine football, who want to emigrate as soon as possible, the former enganche remarked that “today there is not so much sense of belonging.”

Reviewing his time of glory, Romagnoli praised coach Edgardo Bauza who led San Lorenzo to win its only Copa Libertadores and highlighted the mix between experience and youth of that team that made history in 2014.

But he also clarified that his return was risky and that it does not always go well. “Football is ungrateful, if you come back and don’t win it’s because you came to steal. I was lucky to achieve glory”.

While waiting for a proposal that convinces him, Romagnoli explained that “as a coach you have to adapt to the squad you have but also give it the idea that you have.”

Leandro Romagnoli, glory of San Lorenzo and the most successful in the Boedo team. Authoritative word that spoke about everything and for everyone.
