Comerciantes Unidos Dismisses Coach Ferreyra: A Tale of Turmoil and Transitions

In a plot twist worthy of a telenovela, Comerciantes Unidos has sent another coach packing. On August 4, 2025, Daniel Ferreyra became the third coach this year to exit stage left, marking a season of musical chairs in the dugout. It's less 'Game of Thrones' and more 'Game of Throw-ins,' as Ferreyra follows Mart n Cardetti and Javier Arce out the door.

Under Ferreyra's watch, the team's performance was akin to a plot line in a soap opera—predictable and with a tendency to end in tears. Eight matches yielded just one win, a solitary draw, and six losses, painting a picture more Picasso than Rembrandt. The only point in the Clausura came from a 0-0 home draw against Deportivo Garcilaso, a match as gripping as watching paint dry. The team looked more like a group of extras than the main cast in their 3-1 loss to Universitario de Deportes, and their recent 3-2 defeat to Los Chankas was a thriller for all the wrong reasons.

Ferreyra's journey this year has been a rollercoaster, starting as the club's sporting manager, then moving to assistant coach in May, before finally taking the helm. It's been a ride with more twists and turns than any 'Fast & Furious' movie, but sadly, it seems the brakes have finally been slammed on his tenure.

The backdrop to this drama is a season of struggle for Comerciantes Unidos, with the club languishing at the bottom of the standings, clutching onto their single point like Rose to that door in 'Titanic'. The constant shuffling of coaches underscores the instability that has haunted the club, making their season less of a fairytale and more of a cautionary tale.

Journalist Marcello Merizalde broke the news on 'X' (formerly known as Twitter), not with a roar but a simple tweet, summing up the chaos of the season in 280 characters or less. Here's hoping the next coach can bring a little more 'Ted Lasso' optimism and a lot less drama to the club.
