Lanus Aims for Continental Title

Lanus has written the most colossal chapters of its sports history since 2013, including the dispute of a Copa Libertadores final and three Copa Sudamericana finals.

What has led to Lanus' success?

The club from southern Buenos Aires, with a corporate vision focused on promoting young talent and without flashy signings, has more finals in the two main South American tournaments than clubs like Boca Juniors (2), Independiente, or Racing de Avellaneda (1).

What is the club's philosophy?

Lanus' history is clearly divided into two periods. A first period, from its founding in 1915 to 2007, was marked by institutional crises and relegations to the lower categories of Argentine football. However, everything changed with the achievement of the first local title, the 2007 Torneo Apertura, won at La Bombonera against Boca Juniors.

What's next for Lanus?

With institutional stability highlighted as a fundamental pillar of its sports success, Lanus projects “something that seduces any coach, which is seriousness, that the directors are united, which is something atypical in our football”, as stated by Mauricio Pellegrino, the club's coach.

Lanus aims to be a prophet in its land under the guidance of Mauricio Pellegrino. The club's austerity is reflected in its market movements. The biggest signing in the history of the Granate, the offensive midfielder Marcelino Moreno, cost 2.7 million dollars.
