After almost two years in charge of Alianza Lima and a title under his belt, Carlos Bustos left the bench of the team. With eight matches remaining in the Clausura, the Intimate leadership decided to terminate the contract of the Argentine coach after a series of poor results in recent matches.
Although it is not the best farewell for the last champion coach with Alianza, the club did not forget his work during his stay in the institution and dedicated an emotional message on their social media.
"Thank you for everything, 'Profe'! Thank you for the 2021 that you made us live. For all the joys and unforgettable moments. We wish you success today and always. Up, Bustos! Up, Alianza!", reads the club's publication.
