América de Cali has begun its renewal: Alejandro Quintana will not continue in the ‘Mecha’

California America had a disappointing 2022. He was left out of the ‘eight favourites’ in the opener, culminating in 15th box. In League II-2022 he qualified for the last home runs, he was seventh in all-against-all. However, they were eliminated early, in the fourth round of Group B, when they fell to Deportivo Pasto in the Departamental Libertad.

Faced with this difficult scenario, Alexandre Guimaraes has announced that he will renew the ‘scarlet’ team. It should be noted that in the Copa Colombia it reached the round of 16, a phase in which it was eliminated by Unión Magdalena. On Saturday, ‘Mecha’ lost against Independiente Medellín on matchday five and the Costa Rican coach, who left Atanasio Girardot quite dissatisfied, spared nothing in the post-match press conference.

“There is no doubt that for the next tournament that point of individual quality in the last quarter of the field we must move to introduce players who can give us this, which is vital for next season,” Guimaraes said in media attention.

A day after their statements, the “Red Devils” announced their first layoffs for the 2023 season.

“América de Cali informs its fans, the media and the general public that, following the termination of his employment contract, the Argentine forward Alejandro Quintana has finished his internship in our professional team”he began by pronouncing an official statement from the ‘red’, on his Twitter account.

In this way, Quintana will culminate a stage without “pain or glory” with America. The 30-year-old striker played 27 games for the Valle del Cauca side, in which he logged 1,136 minutes on the pitch. He only scored three goals, one of which was highly celebrated by the “scarlet” fans, turning him into Deportivo Cali to Pascual Guerrero.

That goal against the “sugar farmers” was the only one scored in Liga II. Quintana, born in Buenos Aires, presented physical problems at the end of the ‘all against all’ and hasn’t played since last September 16, when he added 23 minutes against Pereira. But the former Atlético Bucaramanga and Platense striker isn’t the only victim announced for next season.

“For his part, the Brazilian physical trainer Felipe Célia García has presented his letter of resignation and from this date does not continue in the institute. We thank Alejandro and Felipe for their commitment and professionalism in wearing our colors and wish them many successes in their careers,” concluded the statement published this Sunday.
