Albos and Verdolagas prepare for a high-stakes chapter in Palogrande, where the latest news and firm commitments point toward taking three points on matchday.
Manizales opens the second half of the season as the country’s most prominent derby features the only two clubs in the nation to have earned U.S. championship status. When Once Caldas and Atlético Nacional meet on home soil, both sides know the importance of securing victory: the white team needs a strong start to climb away from danger, while the green side aims to build momentum and craft a fresh chapter after a difficult run in recent weeks.

William Amaral is guiding Verdolaga as interim coach while the board searches for a long-term solution to replace Autuori. The squad has faced financial pressures and personnel changes, making it essential to rally the group and begin the second semester with a solid result. The home advantage adds extra motivation for the visitors to seize control from the opening whistle.
Pedro Sarmiento steers Albos through a window of squad adjustments and market moves, hoping for a more positive second half that reestablishes their standing as a top-tier contender in domestic competition and restores confidence among fans and players alike.
