New potential coach for Alianza Lima

In the last few hours, there has been talk of a variety of new coaches to take over the reins of Alianza Lima following Guillermo Salas' departure. This is how the name of Argentinian strategist Ariel Holan began to make headlines. However, there is a reason that makes his arrival to the two-time champion not so easy.

It turns out that journalist Marcello Merizalde was able to contact the environment, the family, of Ariel Holan and the comments they made were not encouraging at all, so it is unknown whether the Copa Sudamericana champion with Independiente will sign for Alianza Lima or not. It should be noted that he is an experienced international strategist, and he has even been in Brazil.

"Although he is one of the candidates with the highest approval at Alianza Lima, Ariel Holan's entourage sees his arrival at the club as unlikely. Nothing is defined. We will keep you informed," the mentioned journalist notified through his official Twitter account, making it clear that his arrival to La Victoria is still possible, but it is difficult.

Clubs directed by Ariel Holan

• Defensa y Justicia
• Independiente
• Universidad Católica de Chile
• Santos
• León de México

With Independiente of Argentina, he won the Copa Sudamericana in 2017. Curiously, in that edition of the tournament, he faced Alianza Lima in the first phase, eliminating them with an aggregate score of 1-0. After the match in Peru, Holan was fascinated by the blanquiazul crowd and showered them with praise.

"I want to highlight the stadium and the crowd that was waiting to enter it, and the bus passed through that crowd. The behavior, education, and respect with which our delegation was able to travel that path is incredible. While this should be usual in all countries, it is not normal that it happens, and that's why I want to highlight it because they have set an example of sportsmanship that surprised me," he said.
