(Reuters) - San Lorenzo head coach Leandro Romangoli has stepped down after six months amid poor performance in the Argentinian Primera Division.
Romangoli spent nearly 15 years at San Lorenzo as a player and previously served as its sports director. He replaced former head coach Ruben Dario Insua in April.
San Lorenzo are 24th in the league with 18 points from 17 matches. They were held 1-1 at Godoy Cruz on Saturday.
"We have only words of thanks to (Romangoli) and his coaching staff," San Lorenzo said in a statement on Sunday. "We bid him farewell with the certainty that in the future our paths will meet again... San Lorenzo is your home."
San Lorenzo will host Barracas Central in their next match on Sunday.
