Off season news Carlos de los lobos is one of six canditates to egt the coaching job at the vacant Santa Tecla job External Links: http://www.elgrafico.com/2016/06/04/carlos-de-los-cobos-es-candidato-para-dirigir-a-santa-tecla Chalatenango willbe presenting their new coach tomorrow, favourites for the job are Misael Alfaro and Chilena Hector Jara External Links: http://www.edhdeportes.com/articulo/chalatenango/chalatenango-presentara-nuevo-timonel-114707 FAS have announced the players they have relesed these include: Carlos Carrillo , Erick Rivera , Donny Valle , Orlando Pineda (Mexican-Salvadorian), Cristiam Álvarez and Álex Suazo External Links: http://www.edhdeportes.com/articulo/liga-mayor-de-futbol/fas-mueve-piezas-114740 UES have signed Harold Alas and Colombian William Guerrero External Links:http://www.edhdeportes.com/articulo/liga-mayor-de-futbol/ues-arma-para-apertura-2016-114719
Update: Chalatenango will be coached by Ruben Alonso, a very safe choice which is a shame I felt like Misael Alfaro would have been a better fit for the club. Seriously what are up with the clubs not wanting to try to bring new coaches to the test the waters in el salvador. Coaches like Alonso and castillo have every right to keep finding work since they not only doen their services to clubs in the first division but especially in Alonso have continued coaching in secodn division as well helping branch his style and keeping an eye for fresh talents. But with the exception why does coaches like Gamarra, Correira, Garcia, Cepeda, Sarultye. I am sure we could find foreign coaches cheap and that have different philsophy to the same groups as usual Foreign coaches that could coach and wouldn't be ridiculous expensive: Jafet Soto, Mauricio Solis, Jeaustin Campos, Mario Zanabria, Hugo Perez, José Valladares, Enzo Trossero, Ariel Sena, Leroy Sherrier Lewis Coaches that deserve a chance from the lower leagues or youth leagues: Marvin Benitez, Erick Dowson Prado (once his coaching commitment wth the national team are over), Pablo Quiñónez, Carlos Romero, Fausto Vasquez, Luis Carlos Asprilla

Not that I know off, the only changes they made was teams allowed to have four foreign players and the reserve team players have to be under 20. As a deal to bring in the Copa Claro they are thinking of introducing an under15 competition.
Ok, i thought i saw it on twitter when i first posted this, but the links jept saying the website is down (el grafico). Still dissapointed by the 4 extranjeros though. Im fact, i think that now mean that they can have more extranjeros than underage players correct? Thats sad
