Pellegrino Named Coach of the Month at Lanús

If 'El Granate' can secure a victory at the Florencio Sola stadium, it will deny their eternal classic rival a playoff spot on their own home turf. This way, the recognition for Pellegrino arrives at one of the most outstanding moments of his cycle at Lanús, where the team has regained solidity, confidence, and protagonism. With the focus on advancing to the final of the Copa Sudamericana and maintaining the momentum in the local league, the coach seeks to solidify a project that, after an irregular start, is beginning to show concrete results on and off the field. Additionally, the team from the Southern Zone must play the second leg against Universidad de Chile in the Copa Sudamericana semifinals. Furthermore, Pellegrino has a very important commitment, the classic against Banfield in matchday 14 of the Torneo Clausura. "Club Lanús achieved 3 victories in October and secured qualification to the next stage of the 2025 Torneo Clausura," stated the official LPF account in the description of its social media post. The 'Granate' coach managed to reverse the tense situation the club was facing, secured fourth place in Group B of the championship, and clinched their spot in the Playoffs. Mauricio Andrés Pellegrino won the individual award for Coach of the Month.

"Mauricio Pellegrino is the D.T. of the Month."
