translated from Spanish: Omar de Felippe, the coach closest to the U bank

The name that would have come to terms with Blue Blue to replace Alfredo Arias is Omar of Felippe. The strategist has a long resume as a coach, which seduces the club. The Argentine led Olimpo, Quilmes, Independiente, Emelec, Vélez Sarsfield and Newell’s Old Boys. The latter cast was taken into the B, where it also became in the relegation zone, and returned it to the first division. However, in November last year he resigned from the club for poor results. When he left the club, the Rosarino team was outside the Copa Argentina, he was in the 20th place of 26 in the leaderboard of the local tournament. In addition, Newell’s added 17 unearned away matches (15 Superliga, 1 South American, 1 Copa Santa Fe), 3 draws and 14 losses. In his list he points out that he was champion with Emelec in 2015. He also achieved promotion to Primera División, with Olimpo, Quilmes and Independiente in Argentina. His personal life highlights the moment he left football to defend the lands of his country: while in the lower divisions of Huracán, he was called up by the Argentine Army to go to the Falklands War, where he spent two months and then returned to play. He is currently clubless and today, in an interview with La Tercera, he stated that “obviously that he would go to the U. Who is not interested in the University of Chile?”. He added that “I’m not afraid of the relegation fight.”
