Colombia's national team begins a new cycle with changes in the coaching staff. Néstor Lorenzo will confirm the departure of a fitness trainer, joining the exit of Luis Amaranto Perea, who has already joined Independiente Medellín. The team enters this process with a last result of 3-0 against Australia (2025-11-19) and a streak of three wins and one draw in their last four matches.
What changes are coming?
Argentine coach Néstor Lorenzo met with Ramón Jesurún to plan the team's future. In addition to the known departure of Luis Amaranto Perea, the manager will have to replace one of his two fitness trainers: Damián Lanata or Leandro Jorge. The decision will be made in the coming days, as confirmed by Futbolred.
Why is it important for Colombia?
Colombia's national team aims to consolidate its project ahead of the 2028 Copa América and the 2030 World Cup qualifiers. Changes in the coaching staff come at a crucial moment, following a standout performance in the 2026 World Cup. The team, with a record of three wins and one draw in their last four matches, needs to maintain its momentum.
What's next for Colombia?
Lorenzo will need to complete his coaching team before the FIFA international dates in the second half of the year. Colombia, coming off a 3-0 win against Australia (2025-11-19), will look to maintain its two-game winning streak. New members of the coaching staff will need to adapt quickly to face upcoming challenges.
