Tito Rojas gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

César Magallan linked with a move away

The name of César Magallan keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Estudiantes de Merida say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad23 Aug 2027

Victor Ferraresi knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Estudiantes de Merida, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market25 Jan 2027

Andres Murillo comes home

The shirt still fits. Andres Murillo is back at Estudiantes de Merida, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Market25 Jan 2027

Darwin Herrera is a Estudiantes de Merida player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Victor Rosales comes home

The shirt still fits. Victor Rosales is back at Estudiantes de Merida, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Junior Savarino is a Estudiantes de Merida player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Match23 Jan 2027

6 unbeaten for Estudiantes de Merida

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 6 matches without defeat is a foundation Estudiantes de Merida did not have in the autumn.

Squad25 Jan 2027

The manager makes an example of Luis Caicedo

“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.

Estudiantes de Caracas watching José Antonio Montilla

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Estudiantes de Merida have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad21 Dec 2026

The manager makes an example of Jean Frank Gutiérrez

“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.

Market21 Dec 2026

Estudiantes de Merida put Jean Frank Gutiérrez up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Jean Frank Gutiérrez may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Wilken Ramírez knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Estudiantes de Merida, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Cristopher Rodríguez keeps his manager's vote

The message was aimed at the stands as much as the dressing room: Cristopher Rodríguez plays, and the argument is closed until the manager decides otherwise.
