The trajectory of the new DT of América de Cali
Raimondi, from 48 yearshe has built his career as Technical Assistant than as main coach. He has worked in technical bodies of important clubs in Europe: he was in Torino fc Between 2016 and 2018, then in Bologna fc From 2019 to 2021, it went to Seville fc In 2023 and in 2024 he was part of PANATHINAIKOS DE GREECIA. It was also part of the coaching staff of the Sestri LevanteClub in which he assumed as the main DT in the 2015-2016 season.
His most outstanding experience at the selection level was as an assistant to Diego Alonso in the Uruguay selectionparticipating in the final stretch of the South American Qualifiers and in the Catar 2022. As a property coach, in addition to his passage through Sestri Levante, he had a brief cycle in the Riminialso of the Italian ascent, in 2023.
As a footballer, Raimondi served as Central defender. He started his career in Atlanta In the Argentine ascent, and then emigrated to Italy, where he played for more than a decade in teams such as Casarano, Gallipoli, Pisa Calcio “Where she was captain,” Perugia, Cosenza Calcio y Pontedera. His passage through Italian football left him a clear football identity: tactic, order and professional mentality.
America, between the urgency of results and the search for identity
Raimondi's arrival occurs after the exit of Uruguayan Jorge 'Moth' da Silvawho left office after the elimination of the team in the Liga BetPlay 2025-I. The institution is going through a turbulent period, not only because of the lack of results, but also for recent media scandals related to false sales and scams in which it was indirectly involved Juan Fernando Quinterowhich forced the directives to go out to give public explanations.
Since its last title in 2020, when Juan Cruz Real He led the team to lift the Cup after beating Santa Fe, America has gone through a coaches that failed to consolidate a successful project.
In the last four and a half years, the scarlet bench has been occupied by Jersson González In 2021, Juan Carlos Osorio Between 2021 and 2022, the Brazilian Alexandre Guimarães for 2022 and part of 2023, Lucas Gonzalez In the second semester of 2023, the Venezuelan César Farías In the first semester of 2024, and finally the Uruguayan JORGE DA SILVAwhich had two stages between 2024 and 2025.
This constant technical rotation has not only prevented the consolidation of a style of play, but has also frustrated the expectations of a swollen that demands to return to the first planes both in the national rented and in international competitions.
Raimondi, an unknown with potential?
Although his experience as a property technician is reduced, Raimondi arrives with credentials built in the European environment, high -level knowledge and rubbing in national selections. His profile plays a different bet: It is not a consecrated technician, but someone who can print order, tactical discipline and a new dynamic to scarlet costumes.
The challenge is not less: You must stabilize a beaten project, return to the team a clear identity and compete firmly in the South American CupTournament that could mark the course of its cycle and the immediate future of América de Cali.
