América de Cali is not going through its best moment in the Dimayor Betplay League where they start on the fourteenth matchday with 15 points and minus two in the goal difference. For this reason, the managers of the 'Escarlata' team reached an agreement with the risaralda coach Juan Carlos Osorio to leave the club's bench.

Today, on the 14th date of the league, América de Cali will host Millonarios at Pascual Guerrero at 5:30pm. 'Mechita' will be under the direction of Pompilio Páez, technical assistant to Osorio during his time in the Caleño team.

During his stay at the 'Branch of Heaven', Juan Carlos Osorio led a total of 49 matches with a balance of 15 wins, 23 losses and 11 draws for a performance of 38.10 percent.

Most likely, the new coach of the 'Red Devils' will be the Brazilian with Costa Rican nationality, Alexandre Guimarães who left a very good memory in the American fans after winning the 15th star in the tournament ending 2019.

Many were surprised by the appointment of Pompilio Páez as coach in charge for the duel against the 'Ambassadors', as it was expected that the chosen one would be Jersson González, who had been serving as coach of the U-20.

However, through a press release on its official social networks, América de Cali reported that the former player is leaving the club to face new remains in his career as a coach: “America de Cali informs its fans, media and the general public, that Jersson González, a reference for the institution and who is he was the technical director of our U-20 Category, he presented his letter of voluntary resignation to face a new sports project.”

In the same way, the former winger also commented on his departure from the painting 'Scarlet', expressing his thanks and love for the institution during six years of work in the lower ones.

He also published a photo in the company of Juan Carlos Trujillo, president of Llaneros along with Wilmer Sandoval who will be González's assistant in the 'Indomitable Colts' of the Dimayor Betplay Tournament.

For his part, yesterday Llaneros confirmed the departure of coach Walter Fernando Aristizábal who arrived a year ago at the Colombia media club with the aim of achieving promotion to the first division, but the results did not accompany him.

In the Dimayor Betplay Tournament, Llaneros marches in the eleventh division with only nine points in the same number of matches played. In his last start he fell away 2-0 against Real Cartagena.

In this way, Jersson González will have the difficult task of straightening Llaneros' course in the tournament to fight to enter the home runs and fight for the mid-year title. His debut will be this Wednesday, April 6 against Barraquilla as a visitor.
