It will be the return of Argentine coach Daniel Garnero to face Olimpia, a club where he won four local championships and led a total of 139 games, with an efficiency of 71.7% in performance.
Garnero was dismissed from his post on October 25, weeks later his name began to be considered in Libertad, but this was confirmed in December, after the departure of Gustavo Morínigo.
With everything at his disposal, Garnero put together a great team in Libertad, hiring the players upon request, with full confidence from the cabbage leadership.
This will be his first test, in the previous one he only lost Álvaro Campuzano, midfielder of his usual starters in preseason friendlies, but with a large squad he located Colombian Alexander Mejía. Garnero’s mission will be to give Guma a local championship again, something that has not been achieved since the 2017 Apertura; in addition to fighting to go far in the Copa Libertadores, where he will begin his journey in phase 2 (two prior to the group).
Olimpia in front is suffering from the coronavirus, with a focus that took five players and without Saúl Salcedo (who was not qualified for this match), Néstor Gorosito will have to use his substitute bench to start the defense of the champion title well .
