What does Gamero's continuity depend on in Millonarios

Although Millionarios leads the BetPlay League and is characterized by its good football under the baton of Alberto Gamero, there are those who believe that, if he does not win a title in the current campaign, he must step aside. However, the club's president, Enrique Camacho, rejected the possibility of terminating the DT's contract in the event that he is not crowned champion.

For Camacho, coaches should not be measured by championships, not particularly in this case. According to him, Gamero was hired for a long-term process in which, among others, he has fulfilled objectives such as making the players in the academy visible, an important fact especially at the financial level, since the sale of football players translates into income for the clubs. For example, a button: Emerson Rivaldo Rodríguez, who after an outstanding 2021 with Los Ambajadores, was sold to Inter Miami CF.

In this regard, on the VBar program, on Caracol Radio, he commented:

On the radio program Camacho clarified that, like the fans, he hopes that the capital team can play finals, but he also called for calm. “What we want is to see the champion team, but for that we have to generate a game scheme, group management (...). The goal is the title in the first or second semester,” he added.

Although Gamero's work does not displease, some worry that, despite the good game, Millionarios will not succeed in winning the finals. In the home runs of last Torneo Finalización, he did not qualify for the final due to individual errors in defense and because of the lack of definition at key moments of the match. And in the final against Deportes Tolima in the Apertura Tournament he could not win at the El Campín Stadium when he had everything going for him, mainly having achieved a draw in the Manuel Murillo Toro.

Journalist Gabriel Meluk, for example, argues that Rafael Dudamel, who won Deportivo Cali champion in a matter of three months, gives evidence that long trials do not necessarily represent success in football.

Three days ago, in conversation with Win Sports, Alberto Gamero said that if the time came to leave when he did not provide the expected results, he would do so. However, he also ratified that he is meeting the objectives set by the leadership from the beginning, giving priority to the base, to the academy, gives the way teams such as Deportivo Cali or the Envoy do it.

“They proposed a project to me, they wanted something different from what had been happening a long time ago in Millonarios, which was not to bring so many people and give the opportunity to grassroots football. And what I've done, they've never done. Millionarios has a heritage, we have players from Colombia national team, Costa Rica national team, Venezuela team. We have players who can be transferred to international football. We have a team that goes in to win the games. The satisfaction I have left is that the youth football player wants to be in Millonarios, because he has the opportunity,” he said.
