Vélez in Crisis: From Promising Project to Relegation Fears in Just Four Months

Vélez Sarsfield is once again flirting with relegation, just months after sparking optimism with a renewed project. According to TyC Sports, the club’s downward spiral is the result of poor decision-making, key injuries, underperforming signings, and unfulfilled promises. Coach Sebastián Domínguez lasted just 52 days, with his short tenure marred by fitness issues and tactical confusion.
The lack of a proper preseason led to a string of injuries, including a serious fracture suffered by Joaquín García. In the transfer market, the failed sale of key defender Valentín Gómez led to his absence during a crucial stretch. Meanwhile, the deal for Christian Ordóñez to Parma includes risky clauses and no guaranteed payout.
New signings have largely disappointed, and no one adequately replaced Claudio Aquino, a key contributor in previous successes. With Guillermo Barros Schelotto now in charge, Vélez faces an uncertain path and the very real threat of repeating its dramatic 2023 campaign.
