After three consecutive defeats, America de Cali will seek a new victory this Sunday when it hosts Millonarios in one of the most striking matches of the 14th date of the 2022-I BetPlay League. The commitment is agreed for 5:30 in the afternoon at the Pascual Guerrero stadium under the arbitration of John Hinestroza (Chocó).

In recent days, the 'Escarlata' team confirmed the departure of Juan Carlos Osorio from technical management, so, as reported in a statement, the coach commissioned for this meeting will be Pompilio Páez. There are several strategists who have been in the candidate deck, however, it seems that an old acquaintance would already have everything arranged to take office: Alexandre Guimarães.

Tulio Gómez, the top shareholder of 'La Mecha', spoke with El Pais de Cali about the arrival of the new coach, and, although he did not give names to “not hinder the negotiation”, he did give some clues: “He is an experienced coach, he has been a champion. America needs a man with a journey, who arrives like a balm at this time, who manages the dressing room well, who proposes, who takes care of his defense.”

When asked about Guimarães, the leader 'Escarlata' said that “he has always been a gentleman, he was champion with America, and I like him the way I like Hernán Torres, Alberto Gamero, Wílmer Cabrera”.

For his part, journalist Carlos Arturo Arango specified, through his Twitter account, that Guimarães will be the new coach of America, who would assume his second cycle at the institution after winning the 2019 Completion Tournament. “The teacher must arrive in Cali during the week,” said the communicator.

In the face of the match against Millonarios, America will once again count on Joider Micolta, who paid his sanction date after being expelled against Patriotas, and Joel Graterol, who rejoined the team after playing with the Venezuelan national team. Likewise, it is projected that both Carlos Sierra and Elvis Mosquera will have minutes, as both trained during the week as they recovered from their respective physical problems.

As for casualties, the Caleño team will not be able to count on several regular players in their starting formation. Brayan Vera, Iago Falque, Marlon Torres and Déinner Quiñones will be absent due to muscular problems, while Larry Angulo will have to pay his second penalty date after seeing the red card in the match against Patriotas. Jhon Garcia won't be available either.

Those led by Alberto Gamero come from winning a key victory against Barranquilla Junior at the El Campín stadium. And now, if they took the victory in the capital of Vallecaucana, they could confirm their qualification to the home runs in advance and return to the championship lead with 32 units.
