When is the Guastatoya vs Municipal match and who will coach Guastatoya?

Match Details

Guastatoya will face Municipal in the first leg of the Clausura 2026 quarter-finals on May 1, 2026 at 19:00 at Estadio David Cordón Hichos. This is a crucial playoff match for both teams, with a second leg scheduled for May 3, 2026 at El Trébol.

Coaching Changes

Argentine coach Pablo Centrone resigned on April 30, 2026, just hours before the match. In response, the board appointed Víctor Solalinde, the club's Director Deportivo, along with Luis Pedro Molina, the goalkeeper coach, to manage the team on an interim basis. Solalinde has prior experience with Guastatoya, having been involved in the team's promotion in 2014.

Reason for Resignation

Centrone's resignation stemmed from a conflict with player Keyner Arboine. The coach wanted to remove Arboine from the squad, but the board refused, arguing that team unity was essential during this critical stage of the tournament. When Centrone did not receive the support he requested, he and his entire technical staff resigned.

Context

Centrone had joined Guastatoya in September 2025 and successfully completed his objectives by keeping the team in the top division and qualifying them for the playoffs. Just days before his resignation, Guastatoya defeated Marquense 4-0 in the final regular season match to secure their spot in the quarter-finals.
