The 2019–20 season is Vélez Sarsfield's 78th consecutive season in the top division of Argentine football.[1] In addition to the Primera División, the club are competing in the Copa Argentina, Copa de la Superliga and Copa Sudamericana.[1]

Key Information

The season generally covers the period from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020.

Review

[edit]

Pre-season

[edit]

Luciano Tilger was the first transfer-related occurrence of Vélez Sarsfield's season, as he agreed a permanent move to Almirante Brown on 14 June 2019.[2] On 18 June, the club announced three signings in Tomás Guidara, from Belgrano, and Maximiliano Romero, on loan from PSV.[3] Soon after, Fernando Gago put pen to paper on a one-year contract, months after his release from Boca Juniors.[4] Joaquín Laso went to Atlético San Luis of Liga MX on 19 June.[5][6] Gastón Díaz was released on 24 June, after he and the club mutually parted ways - he later joined Colón.[7] Álvaro López's loan deal with Almirante Brown was renewed on 25 June.[8] Numerous loans from the past campaign officially expired on and around 30 June.[9] Guido Mainero was loaned to Defensa y Justicia on 1 July.[10]

Vélez were held to draws by Villa Dálmine in friendlies on 6 July.[11] Romero scored his first goal for them on 10 July in a pre-season match with Estudiantes of Buenos Aires at Villa Olímpica in Ituzaingó.[12] Rodrigo Cáseres and Mauricio Toni headed to Justo José de Urquiza and Alvarado on 12 July.[13][14] Vélez shared a friendly win apiece with Banfield on 13 July.[15] Espanyol confirmed the incoming of Matías Vargas on 14 July.[16][17] Atlético Tucumán were taken care of in pre-season on 16 July, beating them one-nil twice.[18] Uruguayan Matías de los Santos was signed on loan from Millonarios on 18 July.[19] Vélez defeated Huracán in an exhibition on 20 July, though then lost hours later.[20] A transaction with Tigre featuring Lucas Janson and Jonathan Ramis was agreed on 25 July.[21]

July

[edit]

A defeat away to Talleres on 28 July got Vélez Sarsfield's league campaign underway, as Jony scored the game's only goal for the hosts.[22] Lucas Janson officially arrived from Tigre on 30 July, as Jonathan Ramis went the other way on loan.[23][24] Also on that day, Rodrigo Salinas, fresh from signing a new contract with Vélez, was loaned to Newell's Old Boys.[25][26]

August

[edit]

Nicolás Delgadillo, off a loan with San Martín, was loaned again on 1 August as he joined Patronato.[27][28] Vélez threw away a two-goal lead in the Primera División versus reigning champions Racing Club, as they drew 2–2 despite early goals from Nicolás Domínguez and Maximiliano Romero.[29] Vélez played Talleres in friendlies on 10 August, winning 1–0 and 2–0.[30] Gianluca Mancuso left on a two-year loan deal to Valladolid on 12 August.[31][32] Vélez lost on the road in the league for the second time running on 18 August, as Lanús beat them in Buenos Aires.[33] Following no victory in three, Vélez secured their opening win of 2019–20 on 24 August after beating Newell's Old Boys 3–1.[34] Vélez revealed, on 29 August, that a deal had been agreed with Bologna for Nicolás Domínguez.[35]

Vélez won for the second week running on 30 August, after defeating Estudiantes by one-goal away from home in the Primera División.[36] Bologna confirmed the signing of Nicolás Domínguez on 30 August, with the central midfielder immediately returning to Vélez on a temporary basis.[37]

September

[edit]

Emiliano Amor departed on loan to Primera B Nacional's San Martín on 3 September, as he extended his Vélez contract in the process.[38][39]
