After losing the Apertura 2020 final from Alianza, the Águila team reports uncertainty on the bench occupied by Argentinian Ernesto Corti. At the moment, two weeks before the start of the next championship, neither the board nor the coach himself have confirmed his continuity at the head of the feathered team.
The Argentinian coach said he was in a meeting and would give news about his future upon his departure. However, at the end of this note, he had not provided more information on the subject.
Corti took over the reins from Águila for the second stage of the Apertura 2020 and led Águila to the final, losing 3-0 to Alianza in Cuscatlán last Sunday.
According to local radio stations, “el Carucha” Corti said goodbye to some of the feathered squad this Monday, just a day after the final.
Corti arrived at Águila in mid-November after the club fired fellow countryman Hugo Coria after four consecutive defeats.
“El Carucha” managed to make his team, one of the most successful and with the biggest fans in the country, undefeated and as the team with the most points to finish the second round of the tournament.
The Argentinian added two consecutive titles in his time at Santa Tecla between 2016 and 2017 against Alianza.
Regarding Corti’s resignation, Alejandro González, still in his role as vice president of Águila, had expected in the Güiri Güiri al Aire a few weeks ago that the continuity of the DT was not certain.
“We as managers are very clear and from the first moment I spoke he was very clear that any offer that might come up the road he would be free to leave, I know he hasn’t made a decision at this point . and wants to make his decision after the last game is over, as a professional he is focused and we are also focused on the final, ”he explained.
Mario Meza Mayén, Águila’s sports director, said he will try to keep the three Brazilian foreigners Yan Maciel, Marlon da Silva and Bruno Santos for the next season, which is scheduled for 15 days.
“I think due to the proximity of the next tournament, making a change would be fatal to bring in another without knowing them. We will try to talk to them and give continuity to the players. I think they were unlucky because they had a lot of injuries. Hopefully in the other championship, when they have more continuity of play, they can show what they know.
In addition, he said he will try to meet with coach Ernesto Corti to discuss his continuity in the Emplumado team. “He hasn’t told us anything so far. We hope to meet him, to describe that topic, because it sounded a lot in the networks and newspapers. I think we can make this clearer when we meet. But at this point the game is over and it would not be appropriate to talk to him, ” said Meza shortly after the game.
