Squad26 Jul 2027

The knee: Mateo Bajamich out for 111 days

111 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Atlético Tucumán lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match21 Jul 2027

Atlético Tucumán out of the cup

Gimnasia La Plata ended it 1‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Squad26 Jul 2027

88 days out for Cristian Menéndez after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Atlético Tucumán will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Boardroom26 Jul 2027

Window shuts: 2 in, 3 out at Atlético Tucumán

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 2 arrived, 3 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Boardroom26 Jul 2027

Axel Afonso has agreed to leave Atlético Tucumán for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Leandro Díaz in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Atlético Tucumán this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Kevin Ortiz falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Boardroom26 Jul 2027

Ramiro Balbuena will join Atlético Tucumán for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Ramiro Balbuena has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Atlético Tucumán have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Player ratings26 Jul 2027

Nobody could get near Facundo Pimienta

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market1 Feb 2027

Tomás Bustos puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Atlético Tucumán, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Words exchanged at Atlético Tucumán

Leandro Díaz and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Words at Atlético Tucumán training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kevin Ortiz is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout1 Feb 2027

The manager makes an example of Gianluca Ferrari

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Loan watch1 Feb 2027

Mateo Coronel keeps scoring at Queretaro

27 appearances away from home and 13 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Axel Afonso out for 17 days

The medical room confirms 17 days on the sidelines for Axel Afonso, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Market1 Feb 2027

Gastón Suso told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Gastón Suso has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Atlético Tucumán.

Looking ahead1 Feb 2027

Luis Ingolotti goes back to face Aldosivi

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Luis Ingolotti’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Atlético Tucumán needing him to play as if none of it matters.

The dugout1 Feb 2027

Lucas Román has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Atlético Tucumán will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout4 Jan 2027

Alexis Canelo: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Atlético Tucumán have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market4 Jan 2027

Cristian Menéndez asks to leave Atlético Tucumán

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market4 Jan 2027

Atlético Tucumán say no — this time

The offer from Sol de America for Carlos Abeldaño was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Words exchanged at Atlético Tucumán

Leandro Díaz and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Real improvement from Leandro Olima at Atlético Tucumán

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Leandro Olima is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad4 Jan 2027

A row about effort at Atlético Tucumán

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Kevin Ortiz was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Atlético Tucumán lose Axel Afonso

49 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Market4 Jan 2027

Huracán are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Atlético Tucumán will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Market4 Jan 2027

The shop window has Mateo Bajamich in it

Atlético Tucumán have let the market know Mateo Bajamich can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.
