Santa Tecla wins the 2nd division 2012 clausura champions 2-1 over Brasilia. They will now face Titan the 2011 Apertura champion to see who gets promoted to first division.
so much confusion now with Once Municipal one report says they will name their new coach soon and it might be Mauricio Cienfuegos However another report says that Once Municipa have still have not found a new president or owner, finiacially club is in good shape no debt whatsoeevr very rare thing in el salavdor football clubs, but if they find no president by monday their willing to sell their first division place for $ 50,000 External Links: http://www.laprensagrafica.com/depo...municipal-podria-vender-categoria-en-lmf.html Alianza are thinking of signing shawn martin, i am very suprised they have been hardly any interest for this guy External links: http://www.laprensagrafica.com/deportes/futbol-nacional/265410-no-hay-interes-por-shawn.html

It was a good day for FESA that is still leading the way in player development. FESA developed a few of the players that helped Santa Tecla go up especially Roberto Gonzalez that was the leading scorer in the 2nd division and scored what turned out to be the game winner today. Turin FESA won the Centro Occidente 3rd division 2012 clausura championship. They will now take on 2011 apertura champion Atletico Comalapa for the right to play in the 2nd division. San Sebastian won the Centro Oriente 2012 clausura championship and will now take on the 2011 apertura champion Espiritu Santo for the right to play in the 2nd division.
The first division presidents are thinking of making the playoffs bigger by allowing the top 6 teams to make it instead of the 4 we have now. I have seen how bad it works in other leagues I hate the idea. It leads to even more mediocrity. We should crown the top of the table finisher not reward a midtable team that gets on a hot streak at the end of the season. Our CCL participants could become even weaker this way as has happened in other central american countries. Kiko Hernandez will be the new coach of Firpo. He just guided Santa Tecla to the first division.
Its about the money most clubs are wnating to reward teams that qualify with mroe financial incentive, though if they went with a top 6 they have to make the league into 12 9promoting two teams from second division and relegatong two teams. Leonel Carcamo is the new coach of Once Municipal, he has a tough task rebuilding this team after losing 8 players External links: http://www.elgrafico.com/destacado-...carcamo-batres-nuevo-dt-del-11-municipal.html Edgar Kiko Henriquez is the enw coach of firpo External links: http://www.elgrafico.com/destacado-...seria-oficializado-hoy-como-dt-del-firpo.html
Nicolas Munoz will no longer be with Aguila. http://www.elgrafico.com/destacado-...28257-nico-munoz-no-va-mas-con-el-aguila.html Metapan have signed 2nd division Uruguayan striker Jorge Ramirez http://www.elgrafico.com/destacado-...jorge-ramirez-nuevo-refuerzo-del-metapan.html
Osvaldo "el Pichi" Escudero will be Santa Tecla's new coach http://www.elsalvador.com/mwedh/nota/nota_completa.asp?idCat=47863&idArt=6970873
Nicolas Munoz, Aguila and the leagues highest goal scorer in the last campaign has been dropped from the team and will not renew. Any Aguila fans want to speak on this? I think what happened was they punished him for his little vacation to Panama because he did not keep in contact with the club. If so, I think they did the right thing not renewing him. http://www.elsalvadorfc.com/2012-06-07-nicolas-munoz-no-seguira-con-aguila
Turin FESA won promotion to the 2nd division today by beating Atletico Comalapa 2-1 Espiritu Santo de la isla Jobal also won promotion to the 2nd division today by beating San Sebastion 2-0
FESA doesn't intend to sell their spot in the 2nd division this time and will instead compete with some of the current players Turin FESA players and Marte's reserve players. It will be interesting to see how guys like Pena do in the 2nd division http://www.laprensagrafica.com/deportes/futbol-nacional/267531-no-venderan-la-categoria.html
Firpo will be facing Comunicaciones (Guatemala) in the USA they will play 3 friendlies in the East Coast in July. http://www.elsalvadorfc.com/012-06-14-firpo-comunicaciones-definen-gira-usa-precios-horas
Mexican born defender Orlando Pineda who according to selectalent has ties to El Salvador and wants to play for the Salvadorean national team is trialing at Firpo. He was most recently playing for the Mexican 2nd division Dorados de Sinaloa.
Shawn Martin signs with Metapan http://www.elgrafico.com/destacado-...-shawn-martin-nuevo-elemento-del-metapan.html El Pibe has an offer from an Israeli team however things still need to be worked out with Metapan that is dragging their feet on the transfer http://www.elsalvadorfc.com/2012-06...ta-tiene-oferta-en-israel-pero-metapan-impide
I'm glad to see that Pohl's idea to get more money and reward mediocare clubs by upping the playoffs from 4 to 6 teams was rejected handily. Costa Rica learned that lesson the hard way I am glad we didn't have to. http://www.edhdeportes.com/index.php/categoria-futbol-nacional/423-la-primera-mantendra-el-format
Juan Jose Gomez se incorpora a la Universidad de El Salvador. http://elsalvadorfutbol.com/leernoticia.php?idnoticia=145
Nicolas Munoz has signed with Metapan http://www.metapan.com.sv/deportes/2012/06/20/nicolas-munoz-se-vestira-de-jaguar.html Jonathan Aguila will be playing for Fas http://www.culebritamacheteada.com.sv/2012/06/20/un-aguila-que-jugara-en-fas/ Very disappointing off season for Aguila in my opinion I expected more from them now that they are in the CCL.
Don't discount Santa Tecla.....3 extranjeros argentinos http://m.elgrafico.com/2012/06/21/el-tecla-con-los-argentinos/
I haven't heard good things about those guys and one of them is related to the coach so we will see how those guys turn out. I am hoping Santa Tecla make things more competitive though for the most part they seem like a well run club.
