translated from Spanish: Diego Lopez: “It would be nice to be able to train a big guy like Colo Colo”

Uruguayan coach Diego López acknowledged his desire to lead in the future Colo Colo, after appearing as a candidate of the white and black leadership to take the place of Mario Salas.Who has made a career of coach mainly in Italy admitted to having held a conversation with Marcelo Espina, sporting director of the Albos, although he clarified that there is no formal offer. In dialogue with Redgol, López stated that “two weeks ago I was called from Colo Colo, I was called by the sporting director Marcelo Espina, I spoke to him to know the situation of me here in Brescia. But then all this chaos came and everything was as still. It’s important to be called, it’s a good thing, but you have to wait.”” They called me to see what my situation was like and also to see what I thought of the team and if I would like to go to direct Colo Colo now. It was just a talk to see my opinions and intentions, but there was no formal offer,” he added. Regarding the ‘Cacique’, the former DT of Brescia, Cagliari, Palermo Bologna and Peñarol noted that “it is a nice team, a big team that is playing the Cup, it is a team that I would really like to be able to manage, perhaps not now, but later it would be nice to be able to train a big guy like Colo Colo.” However, the Montevideo idere is not now directed to the Albos when he has a commitment to Brescia. “I really have a very good and years of relationship with the president of Brescia, but I want to respect the contract I signed. The idea is to stay but look for when the championship returns (…) I signed two and a half years here in Brescia. But you have to see what happens.” Right now I’m waiting, at home in quarantine. I can’t go to Uruguay and i can’t go to Cagliari, which is my home, with my family. We have to wait to see what’s going to happen with the Italian championship, that we don’t know anything, after that I’ll decide what I’m going to do with my future,” he said. Finally, López noted that “I really like Chile. It’s had a very good evolution over the years. They have bet a project and maintained it, a project that paid off, with different coaches but a similar idea. It is a football that has grown a lot and is very competitive, Chilean football is ahead of the Uruguayan. In everything. In organization, on court, in infrastructure, it is a big potential that they have.”
