Ramón Díaz No Santos?
O Argentine Ramón Díaz rejected the offer From the club for the second time, reaffirming his commitment to Olimpia, from Paraguay. The information was initially released by the UOL.

Other options, such as Jorge Sampaoli and Juan Pablo Vojvoda, were just debated internally, without any practical advance.
