Unión Española sigue trabajando de la mano de Gonzalo Villagra in the operation to return to the top category of Chilean football, after suffering relegation in the 2025 season.
For this, several players who shone with the red shirt offered to return to the Estadio Santa Laura for this primera B campaign. However, few concretized thier return, such as Patricio Rubio and Emiliano Vecchio.
Although the latter, could be living his last days as a Hispano player, after several differences with the current management led by Sabino Aguad, which were brought to light by the midfielder’s partner, virginia Tissera.
“unión Española didn’t fulfill anything and mistreated him.I told him ‘for the good of the family,return to Argentina’. Now he is at my friends’ house, because we could no longer afford to spend on that Airbnb, which corresponded to the club”, expressed the businesswoman in dialog with AS Chile.

ahora, en caso que las negociaciones avancen con Ramón Fernández, el mediocampista nacionalizado chileno podría vivir su octava experiencia en el fútbol chileno, luego de su paso por Unión La calera, O’Higgins (en tres periodos distintos), Deportes Iquique, San Antonio Unido y San Marcos de Arica, donde este fue su último club en 2025.
Global Chip Shortage Continues to Impact Automotive Industry
detroit, MI - The global semiconductor shortage is still disrupting automotive production worldwide, forcing manufacturers to scale back output and delay deliveries. As of January 20, 2026, the crisis shows no immediate signs of abating, according to industry analysts at AutoForecast Solutions.
Major automakers, including ford, General Motors, and Toyota, have announced further production cuts this month. Ford, such as, is idling several North American plants for varying periods, impacting production of popular models like the F-150 pickup truck. GM has similarly adjusted its schedules, prioritizing higher-margin vehicles. Toyota, while initially weathering the storm better than its competitors, is now facing increased constraints.
The shortage stems from a confluence of factors. Increased demand for consumer electronics during the pandemic strained chip manufacturing capacity. Concurrently,geopolitical tensions and logistical bottlenecks have complex the supply chain. A fire at a Renesas Electronics factory in japan in 2022 and severe weather in Texas further exacerbated the problem.
“We’re seeing a situation where demand significantly outstrips supply,” explains Michelle Krebs, executive analyst at Cox automotive. “Automakers are being forced to make difficult choices about which vehicles to build, and consumers are facing longer wait times and higher prices.”
Industry experts predict the shortage could persist well into 2026, though some anticipate a gradual improvement in the second half of the year. Investments in new chip manufacturing facilities, like the one planned by intel in Ohio (intel.com), are expected to alleviate the long-term supply constraints, but these facilities will take years to come online.
For now, consumers should expect limited inventory and perhaps higher prices when purchasing a new vehicle. Industry analysts recommend checking dealer inventories online and being prepared to order a vehicle well in advance of needing it.
