Rumors grow that Almeyda would leave SJ Earthquakes to coach in the Copa Libertadores

Almeyda's position at SJ Earthquakes was in doubt due to poor results, but with the last two wins, from the club they are having more confident in the coach. Now the doubts arose as a result of Almeyda having been contacted by the Chilean club Colo Colo, which is currently playing the Copa Libertadores.

If Colo Colo wants Matias Almeyda to stop being a San Jose Earthquakes coach to join his club, he must pay the resignation clause. To be able to leave SJ Earthquakes, you must pay nothing more and nothing less than the millionaire sum of 3 million dollars. Although it is a problem for Colo Colo, they would be willing to invest in Almeyda.

Almeyda's last step in South American soccer was in Banfield in 2013 and then moved to Chivas de Mexico. The coach would not see with bad eyes to lead in the Copa Libertadores in one of the most important teams in Chile. Colo Colo is not going through a good time and they think that Almeyda is the solution to return to victory.

A week ago Almeyda's departure from San Jose Earthquakes was imminent since he was last in the MLS standing, but thanks to his last two victories SJ Earthquakes is in ninth place just 1 point behind Real Salt Lake, the last team to would qualify for the MLS playoff currently.
