The entire new season of Caracas FC points to the recovery of its DNA, to the essence of lustrous, competitive and winning football that last year was overshadowed by a very lackluster tactical staging and a performance below the expectations traditional parameters of the club with the most titles in the first division of our country.
The official presentation of the Avilanian reds at the Hard Rock Café pointed to the recovery of the values that have marked the history of Caracas.
From the retro design of the uniform, which nods to the black-sleeved Auroral jersey of the first team that emerged in 1989 under the tutelage of Dr. Guillermo Valentiner and his business vision as a passionate footballer; until the hiring of Leo González as coach to return to Caracas its game of possession, associative, ambitious and with a refined palate.
A technician with Avilanian DNA
Miguel Mea Vitali has been at the forefront of recovering the club's DNA, which he himself helped to shape in another era with his quality in midfield. In his capacity as manager of the club, he decided that it was best to have a coach with a winning past at the institution on the bench.
“With the arrival of Leo we are betting on recovering our style, because he trained as a player and won many titles here, and he knows the DNA of Caracas FC very well; and we have the return of players like Richard Celis, Anderson Contreras, Leo Flores and Luis Casiani who have already triumphed and who we hope will triumph again at Caracas FC”, stressed Micky.

One of the greatest figures in the attack of the capital team, with 35 goals in three seasons, which served to win the title number 12 in 2019 and the runner-up in 2021, is Richard Celis, who returns to the team, after venturing into Millonarios de Bogotá , where he did not have the continuity that excited him so much.
"I return to bring joy to Caracas, good football so that the fans are happy again with each dribble, with each play and the team is back on top, competes in a Copa Libertadores and we place it where it always deserves to be", assured the Marabino winger, whom Leo González will use on the left flank to take advantage of his speed and imbalance.
Caracas will debut this weekend and Leo already has his formula to win in mind.
“We have been able to work a 4-4-2, with the 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3 for an adaptive Caracas. We are clear about our idea of the game, but during the games the team can vary, depending on the reading that is given to the games, ”said the Trujillo coach who is looking forward to his debut.
“We are crazy for this to start. We have had a great reception and we hope that the fans will fill the stadium, support the players with their songs, because the team is working to restore happiness”, Leo concluded.
