🚨 Iker Muniain is the new coach of San Lorenzo

Argentine football has been shaken by unexpected news. The San Lorenzo de Almagro board reached a quick agreement for the Spanish Iker Muniain to become the club's new coach, just before the challenges ahead in the local championship. After the departure of the previous coach, the El Ciclón board acted quickly and chose the former Athletic Club player. The negotiations advanced at a surprising pace, thanks to the strong desire of the Basque idol to take on this great challenge in South American football, a land that he has always expressed his deep admiration for. Muniain is expected to pack his bags and travel to Argentina in the coming days to officially sign. His main objective will be to immediately take charge of the first team to lead the demanding pre-season work and mold his own football identity within the blue and red team.
