Ex River Plate Star Joins Alianza Lima for 2025 Season
Alianza Lima Lands Argentine Champion for 2025 Season
Lima, Peru – Alianza Lima has made a splash in the 2025 transfer market, confirming the arrival of a former River Plate champion to bolster their squad for the upcoming Liga 1 and Copa Libertadores campaigns.
The signing has sent ripples of excitement through the Matute faithful, as the new addition boasts not only a River Plate title but also a Copa América trophy with the Argentine national team.
While the club recently secured Bolivian goalkeeper Guillermo Viscarra, who has been impressing in the 2026 South American World Cup qualifiers, this latest acquisition is generating even more buzz.
The new face in La Victoria is none other than Néstor Gorosito, a seasoned Argentine tactician with a wealth of experience across South America and Europe.
Gorosito’s resume includes stints with renowned clubs like River Plate,San Lorenzo,and Universidad católica in Chile. He also tasted success in europe, winning the Bundesliga with FC Swarovski Tirol of Austria.
But perhaps his most prized achievement is the Copa América title he won with Argentina in 1993.Gorosito, who was presented as Alianza Lima’s new head coach last week, is already hard at work on the training ground, preparing the team for the challenges ahead.
The “blanquiazules” face a demanding schedule, starting their copa Libertadores journey in the first phase, which necessitates a rapid and intense pre-season.
As a player, Gorosito enjoyed a decorated career with River Plate, lifting both the Copa Libertadores and the Intercontinental Cup.Though, his managerial career has yet to reach the same heights. Gorosito is eager to prove himself with Alianza Lima and lead the club to glory.
