Argentine coach Leandro Atilio Romagnoli has unexpectedly resigned from his position as head coach of Paraguayan football club Guaraní. The departure comes during the team's preparation and squad rebuilding phase for the second half of the season.
While the club's leadership, headed by Emilio Daher Acuña, has not officially commented on Romagnoli's exit, unofficial reports suggest the coach decided to return to his home country due to personal matters. Romagnoli, 45, known as 'Pipi,' took charge of the Aurinegro squad on March 25, succeeding his compatriot Víctor Bernay.
During his tenure, Romagnoli led Guaraní in 10 matches, achieving 4 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses. The team recently played a friendly match against Ameliano as part of their training at the Paraguayan Olympic Committee's facilities. Guaraní suffered a 3-0 defeat in the first game but secured a 1-0 victory in the second.
The club is now embarking on the search for a new technical director to guide the team forward. Romagnoli's sudden departure leaves Guaraní in a period of transition as they aim to strengthen their squad for the upcoming challenges.
