Nelson Cabrera to manage Cerro Porteño in Copa Paraguay

Cerro Porteño is navigating a coaching change, with former player Nelson Cabrera taking the helm on an interim basis for the Copa Paraguay. This transition occurs as the club prepares for the return of Argentine coach Gustavo Costas, who will begin his second stint with the team.

Cabrera, who has experience as a player for Cerro Porteño and the Bolivian national team, is currently part of the club's coaching staff and will manage the team for their upcoming match against Resistencia. This temporary role serves as part of his development as a coach within the institution.

The club recently parted ways with Ariel Holan after a disappointing run of results, including losses to Palmeiras and Olimpia. Holan's tenure ended with 8 wins, 5 draws, and 9 losses in 22 games.

Gustavo Costas, a seasoned coach with a successful past at Cerro Porteño, is expected to be formally introduced on Friday. His previous tenure saw him win Apertura and Clausura titles. His return marks a significant moment for the club as they aim to regain form.
