Talleres is on the verge of appointing a new sports manager, with Maximiliano Salas as the favorite for the position. Former Talleres coach Emilio Commisso withdrew from the candidacy, leaving Salas as the only contender. The decision on the sports manager has generated a lot of expectation in the club. Vice-president of the Investment Fund, Alberto Escalante, confirmed that next Wednesday they will meet to formalize Salas' appointment. Adrián Avalos and Professor Pablo Gibelli would be his companions. The news has generated a lot of interest among Talleres fans, who are eagerly awaiting Salas' confirmation as sports manager. The club has had a complicated start to the tournament, and the appointment of a new sports manager is seen as an important step to improve results. Salas has a lot of experience in Argentine football, and his appointment as sports manager of Talleres is considered an excellent option for the club. The Investment Fund meeting will take place next Wednesday, and Salas' appointment as sports manager will be formalized. The club is eager to start this new phase with Salas in charge. The ban for Talleres fans who want to accompany the team to their next match in Santiago del Estero remains in place, despite Central Córdoba lifting the ban for their fans. The Investment Fund asked the Cosedepro and the local league to arbitrate the necessary means for the ban to continue. The idea is to avoid risks of repeating the incidents of February 14, 2010, when local barras and police attacked Talleres fans. The club is working to guarantee the safety of its fans in the next match.
