The Almagro Chronicle
Market23 Aug 2027
Franco Bustamante asks to leave Almagro
“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.
Match21 Aug 2027
7 matches without a win for Almagro
The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around Almagro are no longer polite ones.

A one-man rearguard from Juan Pablo Zozaya
There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.
Match21 Aug 2027
Still nobody has beaten Almagro
The unbeaten run reaches 8. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.
Squad23 Aug 2027
The manager makes an example of Santiago Úbeda
“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.
Squad23 Aug 2027
Mateo Cirigliano stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Mateo Cirigliano and Almagro agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
Loan watch23 Aug 2027
Mattia Ciancaglini wants to come home
“I did not go to Lucko to sit and watch. I want to come back to Almagro and fight for my place.” 5 appearances in 29 matches say the rest.
Match21 Aug 2027
No goals between Almagro and Ferro Carril Oeste
Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Ferro Carril Oeste will be the happier side with the point.
Market23 Aug 2027
Almagro and Aldo Rimbelitti are talking past each other
“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
In brief
- Squad Aldo Rimbelitti knocks on the manager's door
- Market Tobias Canale runs his contract down
- Market Thiago Sanchez placed on the list
