Independiente de Campo Grande has appointed Claudio David Vargas as its new head coach, the club announced on June 20, 2026. Vargas takes the helm of a team currently fourth in Paraguay's Divisiรณn Intermedia, the second tier of the nation's football league.

The team has accumulated 18 points from a record of five wins, three draws, and three losses. They trail the leaders General Caballero de Juan Leรณn Mallorquรญn and 12 de Junio de Villa Hayes, who both have 24 points, and Benjamรญn Aceval de Villa Hayes with 23 points.

Vargas succeeds Pablo Caballero, whose departure comes despite the team's relatively positive standing. Sources indicate that Caballero was dismissed because he "didn't connect with the players" and that the team requires a coach with a "firm hand" to enforce discipline.

The Divisiรณn Intermedia is currently paused for the North America 2026 World Cup group stage. Upon resumption, Independiente will face Benjamรญn Aceval on Monday, June 29, at the Ricardo Grรฉgor stadium.
