The official presentation of the Argentine Néstor Lorenzo as coach of the Colombian National Team inaugurated a new era in the tricolor.
The now helmsman, former assistant to José Néstor Pékerman in the qualifiers and the World Cups in Brazil 2014 and Russia 2018, hopes to take office in July, after ending his relationship with Melgar, from Peru.
Meanwhile, the majority of men related to the national team have chosen to give their opinion on the future of the national team. Carlos la ‘Roca’ Sánchez, the last to do so.

‘Lorenzo has earned the opportunity’
“He is a person who at the time he was in the National Team gave himself 100%. He was always loyal to the National Team, he was always committed. This time he has a new opportunity as a coach, and he has my approval. He has earned the opportunity, he has shown that he has knowledge, he knows the idiosyncrasy of our footballers. Everything happens because we support him, that is important. Hopefully the results will come through,” Sánchez told ‘El Heraldo’ about Lorenzo’s arrival in the National Team.
“Luis Díaz is a great player, I admire his career a lot, but the results are not going to come from him. The key is Colombia, not Diaz, not James, not Cuadrado. We cannot give all the responsibility to a single player. The key is Colombia. Each one must fulfill his role, from the first to the last. Let’s stop throwing everything at one player. When you go to the stadiums, don’t just shout for players, shout for all of Colombia”, added ‘La Roca’, in dialogue with the Barranquilla media.
“The results will come, good or bad, but what cannot be lost is the fraternity, being Colombians and not wishing evil for the National Team. In the most difficult moment is when we have to be more united. It’s not about having a Colombian or foreign coach, because we already had them and the results have not been positive”, concluded ‘Roca’ Sánchez.
