While San Lorenzo is going through a very complex institutional and sporting crisis, Damián Ayude, head coach of the first team, broke his silence and spoke about the club's current situation. In an interview with Radio La Red, the coach reviewed a challenging semester, marked by the lack of competition, the club's financial urgencies, and a final week of training sessions defined by the squad's decision not to practice due to unpaid wages.
Ayude explained that, in this complex scenario, the coaching staff is trying to maintain the group's dynamic by moving forward with tasks planned for the preseason: "The year was challenging and, without competition, the week becomes difficult. We're moving up things from the start of the preseason, which will be before the end of the year".
The conversation also led him to the political arena, amid the institutional uncertainty surrounding the club as it awaits a Board of Directors meeting that could determine whether or not a vacancy is declared. True to his stance, Ayude once again distanced himself from internal discussions, although he highlighted the silent but key role of a member of the squad: "I'm not strong in politics because it's not my area. I don't have problems with anyone, but we rely a lot on La Roca (Carlos Sánchez, the club's sporting director). He's part of the group".
