Sumar ocho de los últimos 12 puntos que disputó no fueron suficientes para que Leonel Álvarez permanezca al mando del primer equipo de Cienciano con miras a lo que resta de la temporada, poniéndole punto final a su relación con el conjunto imperial, escuadra a la que llegó a inicios de año con la intención de convertirlo en uno de los animadores del certamen local.
with 21 units in the Peruvian championship, the same ones that place 'Papá' in eighth place in the standing table, the Cusco directive decided to sit down with the coaching staff of Colombian DT, reaching the conclusion that the best decision, for both parties, was to stop working together.
"After analyzing the sports situation of the club between the directors and the coaching staff headed by Professor Leonel Álvarez, the parties have decided -mutually agreed- to end their contractual relationship as of today's date,", began the statement from Cienciano.
The message from the 'Papá' team, the only team in our country that has been able to win two international trophies (Sudamericana Cup in 2003 and Sudamericana Recopa in 2004), added that "we appreciate Professor Álvarez and his coaching staff for their professionalism and we wish them success in their future projects.".
More Cienciano departures
Last Tuesday, Cienciano confirmed the departure of players Jean Deza and Mathías Carpio, who will not continue in the Imperial squad. This decision by the 'Papá' directive came in the final stage of the Apertura Tournament, a tournament they hope to finish in the best possible way.
With this, the intention of a brief restructuring of the playing style is confirmed with a view to the Clausura, where the Cusco team will give everything to get among the best teams of the year to strive for a possible qualification to an international championship in 2024.
