Paraguayan head coach Raúl Duarte was announced on Tuesday as the new manager of Manta FC following the departure of Javier Carvajal, who left to join Liga de Portoviejo. In an official social media post, Manta FC welcomed Duarte and wished him success leading the first team.
Copa Ecuador background
Duarte previously managed Liga de Portoviejo until their 1-0 defeat against Barcelona SC in the round of 16 of the Copa Ecuador. The Manabí club is currently awaiting a ruling from the Disciplinary Committee of the Ecuadorian Football Federation that could grant them a place in the quarter-finals.
Duarte will make his managerial debut for Manta FC this Saturday in a home match against Leones FC.
