The crisis of Deportivo Cali, in administrative and sports terms, has a new chapter this Friday. The coach Jorge Luis Pinto could make a drastic decision about his future in the next few hours.
Pinto was ratified as Cali coach despite the bad campaign the club had last semester, in which he was last for a good part of the tournament and in which, finally, he finished in 14th place.
The present of Deportivo Cali continues to be very delicate and it will start the semester with a real risk of relegation, although with a better outlook than it had a few months ago.

Pinto’s ‘Vase of Llorente’ and Cali: the ‘Chino’ Sandoval
With many difficulties from an economic point of view, Cali is still looking for reinforcements and the name of Luis Fernando Sandoval appeared on the list of possibilities.
Sandoval, 24 years old and with a past in Colombia Selection processes, was fired from Junior de Barranquilla for repeated acts of indiscipline.
Despite these difficulties, Pinto disagreed with the possible arrival of Sandoval. “Now I can say it, because I already told them: Sandoval comes to the team through the north door and I leave through the south one,” Pinto told John Hernandez of Win Sports.
