The current coach of Emelec, Hernan Torres, has put an end to rumors linking him to América de Cali after the departure of César Farías. Torres confirmed in a press conference that he is happy at Emelec and that there are no possibilities of him directing América. Despite being considered a strong candidate for the position, Torres expressed his satisfaction with the support he receives at Emelec and his commitment to the team.
With Torres ruling himself out of the running, América de Cali is still on the lookout for a new coach for the upcoming season. While names like Alejandro Restrepo were also mentioned as potential candidates, the search continues as the club has not yet announced a new helmsman. Torres, who has overseen 33 games with Emelec in various leagues, including the Pro and Sudamericana Leagues, has led his team to fifth place in the current local tournament with 20 points. Stay tuned for further updates on the search for América de Cali’s new coach.
