San Lorenzo playmaker Andres D'Alessandro has made it clear that he will request a move away from the Nuevo Gasometro should Jose Pekerman be chosen to replace the outgoing Ramon Diaz as coachDiaz will leave the club at the end of the Clausura having failed to lead the team to glory in the Copa Libertadores, with a number of high-profile coaches being lined up as potential replacements.
Miguel Angel Russo, America Gallego and Leonardo Astrada have all been mentioned in connection with the position, but there is one particular candidate that D'Alessandro doesn't see eye-to-eye with, namely former national team coach Jose Pekerman.
Pekerman omitted D'Alessandro from the Argentina squad for the 2006 World Cup and it seems that there is still bad blood between the two, even a couple of years on.
"If Pekerman comes, I am going to have to leave. If I stayed I doubt that we could work together," he told Radio La Red.
D'Alessandro also spoke on the other names that have been linked with the vacancy and seemed happier at the prospects of one of the other three taking charge.
"Gallego is a phenomenon; I must admit that I do not know Russo; Astrada was a team-mate of mine at River and appears to be highly thought of as a coach," he affirmed.
