Sport Boys: former sports manager explained Sebastián Penco’s departure and ruled out Alejandro González’s loan

‘Patucho’ Villanueva spoke about the situation of both players with Sport Boys.

Rafael Villanueva stopped being a sports manager at Sport Boys this Monday, after being in office for two months. ‘Patucho’ came out to clarify the reasons for taking a step aside from the project. In addition, he spoke about the departure of Sebastián Penco and denied the arrival of Alejandro González to the port. These two decisions would have been made by the pink technical command.

“I am grateful to the Sport Boys administration, they gave me the necessary confidence. But there were differences with certain people and led me to make the decision to quit”, He pointed out in a conversation with Fútbol Como Cancha. “Already when the situation is broken with the technical command it is difficult to do serious and responsible work. If there are people who believe that I am a stone in the shoe, I decide to take a step to the side “added.

The reason for his anticipated departure from the ‘Missilera’ would be due to differences with Ytalo Manzo and company. According to his statements, from his role as sports manager he wanted to prioritize Boys being a healthy and solid team and in the process of signings, names of players arrived who did not fit that profile. He would have taken the determination not to put them in the folder and this ended up annoying the head of the ‘chalaco’ team.

The non-renewal of Sebastián Penco caused surprise among the fans, even the footballer himself. Since in the three seasons that he remained in Callao he surrendered with goals, achieving objectives such as saving from relegation and qualifying for an international tournament after more than two decades of absence.

“The issue of Sebastián Penco, when the technical command was discussed, they had a report and the topic of injuries was discussed. It was decided to look for a striker who is consistent with what we were looking for, “he said. ‘La Motoneta’ was away from the playing fields for several dates as he suffered a strain in his left calf. This did not allow him to perform as expected and he only scored six goals.

On the other hand, he touched on the subject of Alejandro González. The Uruguayan was this season in Sporting Cristal and still had a contract for this 2022, so the celestial leadership was looking for a club to lend it. Boys was listed as the most realistic option, but according to the former player’s word this was ruled out by the coach.

“In the end, there was a change within the negotiations by Alejandro González and by decision of the technical command it was decided not to take it into account, nor was there a signed contract yet”, he stated. Now the ‘rímenses’ will have to look for other options or in any case, the ‘charrúa’ will remain in Florida.

“With the team that has been put together, things are going to go well. This is a higher team than last year. The objective is to pass the South American phase and classify again to an international tournament”, ended. It should be noted that, in this competition, they will face Ayacucho FC in the first phase. The matches are scheduled for March 09 and 16, 2022.

So far, Boys has been reinforced with eight players: Rodrigo Cuba (from UCV), Jhilmar Lobatón (from Juan Aurich), Diego Saffadi (from Alianza Atlético de Sullana), Mario Palomino (from Binacional), Luis Garro (from the USMP), Edy Renteria (from Juan Aurich), Luciano Nieto (from Chacarita Jrs) and Sebastián Blanco (from UTC).
