The last game led by coach Alejandro Restrepo in charge of Atlético Nacional was last February 27 against Atlético Bucaramanga on date 9 of the 2022 BetPlay I League.

With a record of 23 wins, 12 draws and nine losses, the second cycle of Restrepo ended in the King of Copas after a record of 44 matches by the purdolaga first team.

Well, after being criticized in his last matches with Atlético Nacional for the bad run of results, the elimination of the BetPlay II League 2021 and the defeat in the first game by Copa Libertadores against Olimpia in Paraguay, the name of strategist paisa has been called to lead another club from the local rented, which was the protagonist of the campaign last in the semifinals of the BetPlay II 2021 Tournament.

This is Llaneros FC, a team that was investigated by the Colombian sports and judicial authorities after the alleged match-fixing scandal against Unión Magdalena that led to the promotion of the Santa Marta team and the frustrated promotion of Fortaleza CEIF with Cortuluá.

According to information known by the portal specializing in international football signings, Transfermarkt Colombia, the Antioquian sports journalist Juan Carlos Jiménez announced an interest and contact of the Villavicencio team with Restrepo to finish the second division championship of the first half in which the metans march thirteenth in the table with 6 points obtained on seven dates:

Llaneros has just been eliminated by Deportes Quindio from phase II of the 2022 BetPlay Cup, but he seeks to focus his efforts on the longed-for promotion with an experienced coach in a large team such as Alejandro Restrepo, who could be the successor of D.T. Walter Aristizábal for the remaining seven games of all against all in the domestic tournament in which the first eight clubs in the table qualify for home runs.

Restrepo finally disassociated himself from the Paisa team at the beginning of March, giving way to Hernán Darío Herrera, who acts as coach in charge with Carlos El Piscis Restrepo. However, job offers have not stopped for the 40-year-old Medellin coach and his destination could be in the capital of Meta, in view of the continuity of the season and the opportunity for improvement that he has in front of him so that his resume will continue to be taken into account by other clubs.

Restrepo's statistical accounts as D.T. purdolaga do not include the matches in which he coached the team between May and June 2019, but since his arrival in June 2021. In his record is the BetPlay Cup 2021 won against Deportivo Pereira in the final with an overall result of 5-1.

In this way, in the coming days the situation of Restrepo or whoever is the new technical director in charge of the llanero cadre would be resolved.
