For several years, Belgrano's goalkeeper coach has been the same and is one of the collaborators of the technical staff led by Ricardo Zielinski. It is Marcelo Misetich, former goalkeeper of Tiro Federal de Rosario, who rose to Primera B Nacional, now known as Primera Nacional, in the 2002/2003 season. Marcelo Misetich said: "It's a very high figure but...". Misetich was one of the protagonists of the Ludueña neighborhood team that conquered the Argentino A tournament, being one of the main figures, with great performances, among others in the finals against Racing de Córdoba. In the midst of the happy break, after Belgrano's championship, Marcelo Misetich spoke with his colleagues in Córdoba and gave his opinion on a key negotiation in this winter market: the purchase of the "Pirate" from the Tate of the Uruguayan goalkeeper Thiago Cardozo. "My opinion is that Thiago Cardozo should be bought. After that, I don't know the numbers or the arrangements. But I fulfilled the report, surely there will be a fight over the numbers because it's a very high figure, but I think it will be settled", said the man in charge of training goalkeepers in Belgrano de Córdoba. At the end of the season, Misetich explained that he raised a technical detail with statistics, videos, and specific reports about the performance of the Uruguayan goalkeeper to the technical secretary and the board of directors led by Luis Fabián Artime. "When we bring a goalkeeper, we evaluate him, look at reports, do scouting, and ask many questions before incorporating a player. I made a report that the club has and they will decide", he said. Although the decision to buy or not Cardozo is in the hands of the Celeste leaders, Misetich did not spare praise for the "1" Uruguayan who arrived in Argentine football to play for Unión and now was champion with Belgrano. "It's not easy to find a goalkeeper with presence and who has the love of the people", said the coordinator of goalkeepers in the professional team of Belgrano de Córdoba, who is part of the technical staff of the "Viking" Ricardo Zielinski. The "rarity", as one might call it, in the triangle of Unión, Cardozo, and Belgrano is that although the second option of purchase in favor of the "Pirate" cordobés expires now in June, the contract for him to play in Belgrano was signed until December 31, 2026. It seems that, sharpening the pencil, the parties will reach an agreement, but if this does not occur, Belgrano will use the Uruguayan goalkeeper for six more months. The first option, set at $1 million, expired in December 2025. The current amount of $1.2 million is for the total of the contract, although the Tate owns 65% and the other 35% remained with the goalkeeper when he left Peñarol de Montevideo. Without a doubt, the Belgrano world is pressuring to keep Thiago Cardozo, considered an "un Cordobes idol" for the Celeste fans. "We made an offer to Unión a few months ago that was not satisfactory. We are negotiating. He is a more than interesting goalkeeper, he gave us a lot and I hope he can stay, but there is also the cost...", said the president of Belgrano, Luis Fabián Artime.
