Independiente Santa Fe continues in the intense search for a technical director to take the reins of the team once the BetPlay II-2025 League ends.

After the fall of the possible hiring of César Farías, the name that has gained the greatest strength in recent hours is that of the Uruguayan Pablo Repetto, former coach of Atlético Nacional.

Currently, the capital team is led on an interim basis by Francisco ‘Pacho’ López, who despite the ups and downs, has kept alive the hope of qualifying for the final home runs.

While López focuses on this short-term goal, the leadership has been active in the search for a strategist.

Initially, the main candidate was the Venezuelan César Farías. However, his imminent arrival generated massive rejection on social networks by the ‘Cardenal’ fans.

This discontent, added to the alleged displeasure expressed by several players on the team, would have been decisive for the Santa Fe managers to back down on the negotiation.

Still, Repetto! He is the main candidate to be the new coach of Santa Fe

With the Farías theme completely dropped, the attention of the Bogotá team has focused on Pablo Repetto.

The Uruguayan coach, who led Atlético Nacional during the 2024 season, is the name that, according to sources close to the club, has the best chance of reaching the ‘León Capitalino’.

Repetto would fit the profile that managers are looking for and, unlike his predecessor on the list, his name would be creating a better environment to take on the challenge in Santa Fe.

If his arrival takes place, Repetto would assume the position at the end of the current semester to plan and direct the team’s sports project starting in 2026.
