The comrades will continue in 2022 under the command of Argentine Miguel Rondelli.
Tomson Minda, Bryan Caicedo, Marco Carrasco and José Cárdenas have joined the Universidad Católica staff for the 2022 campaign, the Quito club reported on Wednesday through its Twitter account.
Minda (21 years old) arrives from El Nacional, Caicedo (21) from Barcelona SC, Carrasco (29) from Mushuc Runa and Cárdenas (26) from Liga de Quito.
In addition, Católica in December reported the renewal of technical director Miguel Rondelli and all his staff coach, as well as the player Gregori Anangonó.
They are the first four reinforcements officially announced by the team with a view to a season in which it has national competition in LigaPro Serie A and Copa Ecuador, and international in Copa Libertadores (from phase 2).
After the massive departure of players from the holy club, Rondelli has begun the reconstruction of the squad, covering the places left by attacking midfielder Diego Armas (Aucas), goalkeeper Hernán Galíndez (University of Chile), right-back Andrés López (Liga de Quito ), central defender Guillermo De los Santos and forwards Édder Farías and Juan Manuel Tévez.
In that sense, he signed Minda, a midfielder from Ibarra who played 15 games with El Nacional in the LigaPro Serie B 2021 and scored two goals.
Caicedo is a central defender from Guayaquil who had few opportunities with Barcelona SC and accumulated 5 games between LigaPro Serie A and Supercopa Ecuador.
Carrasco, a right back from Ambato, played 28 games in LigaPro Serie A with Mushuc Runa.
Meanwhile, Cárdenas, a Quito goalkeeper, was a substitute for Adrián Gabbarini in the league goal and barely acted as a starter in the last two days of the second phase of the national championship, due to the rupture of the crossed knee ligaments of the Ecuadorian nationalized Argentine.
Universidad Católica begins its participation from phase 2 of the Copa Libertadores on February 23 against a team to be defined.
LigaPro Serie A will begin in February and will end in October due to the celebration of the Qatar 2022 World Cup between November and December. (D)
