Vicente Sánchez Close to Joining América de Cali, Potential Cruz Azul Transfer in the Mix

As reported by Nación Fútbol, Vicente Sánchez, who recently resigned as the manager of Cruz Azul after winning the Concacaf Champions Cup, is close to taking the head coach position at América de Cali. This transition would offer a new opportunity in Colombian football, and it may also involve bringing along a former player he managed.

Amaury Morales, a midfielder who developed at Cruz Azul, has seen less playing time since Nicolás Larcamón took over. Under Sánchez, Morales was a regular starter, making him a potential addition for América de Cali. The club is reportedly interested in him, with Sánchez advocating for his signing.

The Mexican transfer window closes on September 12, and if negotiations move forward, América de Cali could be a viable option for Morales. For Cruz Azul, this would mean losing a player with potential who no longer fits their current plans.

Even after leading Cruz Azul to its seventh international trophy, Sánchez seems determined to work with familiar players. If his move to Cali is confirmed, Morales could be one of the first signings in this new endeavor.
