Unión is already planning for 2027 with Madelón in charge and Tarragona among its priorities
After the end of its participation in the Torneo Clausura and with no commitments until 2027, Unión has begun meetings to organize what comes next. Leonardo Madelón appears to be leading the planning, while Cristian Tarragona’s continuity is one of the key issues.
Unión has already set its sights on what comes next. With the Torneo Clausura over and nothing on the line until next year, meetings have begun at López y Planes to map out 2027, with Leonardo Madelón leading the project and Cristian Tarragona's continuity as a priority.
A season finale that speeds up decisions
The removal of competitive action has opened up room for the Santa Fe club to start organizing the future. In that scenario, the red-and-white leadership began working on the first key decisions for the next cycle, at a stage in which planning takes full center stage.
Among the names involved, Madelón stands out as the central figure in the process. The report says the current coach is a key part of the talks for next year, although it was also reported that he is on the radar of Atlético Tucumán.

Tarragona, a priority for the project
Beyond the dugout, the club is also aiming to keep hold of some pieces of the squad. In that regard, the continuity of Cristian Tarragona was highlighted as a priority, a sign of the intention not to dismantle too much of the core while thinking ahead to what comes next.
The reference to Tarragona appears as one of the first signs of how Unión wants to approach next year: with early decisions, without wasting time, and trying to secure continuity in key positions within the team.

What Unión is playing for in this transition
The Tatengue case leaves behind a picture that is becoming increasingly common in Argentine football: teams that, even with competition over, are still defining their future almost immediately. In that context, Unión is going through a behind-the-scenes phase in which the focus is no longer on the pitch, but on sustaining a project and anticipating possible moves in the market and on the bench.
For now, the outlook is clear: Madelón remains at the center of the scene, Tarragona appears as a player to keep, and the club has already begun designing the path toward 2027.
