Boardroom

San Lorenzo run out of patience with Miguel Muñoz

The end came on a Tuesday, as these things usually do: a short meeting, a shorter statement, and Miguel Muñoz clearing his office by noon. Football’s cruellest ritual, performed to schedule.

Squad

A fracture rules Axel Juárez out for 115 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason San Lorenzo will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Simón Pérez agrees terms with Saburtalo

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around San Lorenzo people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Boardroom

Fernando Luna steps up at San Lorenzo for now

“Somebody picks the team on Saturday. This week it is me, and that is as far as I have thought.” No promises were made in either direction, which is how these usually begin.

Squad

Lautaro Guzmán 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 San Lorenzo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at San Lorenzo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alexis Cuello 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.

Boardroom

7 academy players handed senior numbers at San Lorenzo

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Match

San Lorenzo come up short against Vélez

Vélez left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The terraces

San Lorenzo supporters have found a favourite in Facundo Gulli

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Facundo Gulli has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

In brief
