Interim Coach is out at Angostura
Four paragraphs on the club website, none of them about football. The board thanked him, wished him well, and had the search under way before the page went up.

111 days out for Juan Monteagudo after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Angostura will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

A stranger takes charge at Angostura
The coaching staff has emptied out entirely and there was nobody internal to promote, so the club has appointed a name almost none of its supporters will recognise. Clubs recover from this; none of them enjoy explaining it.

Christian Mansilla is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Angostura is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Graduation day at Angostura
12 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Words at Angostura training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Hernán Carroso 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.

One of our own: Darwin Casseres joins the Angostura first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Darwin Casseres is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
