In a short note on the Blanquioleta website, the club is grateful for the 70 games that the Uruguayan played for Pucelano’s club in almost two years, in which he relegated the team and raised it again, while the team suffered greatly in this campaign.

However, this season, with a very weak squad, they won only two games out of 15, adding three more draws, which led to their dismissal.

In theory, the new one will lead the Cup match on Tuesday. Pezzolano and his entire work team leave. The club understands that the time has come to do this.”
