Atenas de Córdoba announced on July 11, 2026 the signing of Ramiro Ledesma, former San Isidro forward, bolstering its frontcourt for the Argentine League 2026/27.
What did Atenas de Córdoba announce?
The Cordoban club confirmed that Ledesma, born in Oliva and previously playing in the second division, signed a contract through June 2028. His arrival follows San Isidro's reveal of its full roster, where the interior was one of three high‑profile signings.
How does this signing impact Atenas' project?
Atenas had been looking to strengthen the paint after finishing the 2025/26 season in the lower half of the table. Ledesma brings rebounding and defensive experience; in the 2025/26 campaign he logged 7.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game with San Isidro. His presence enables the coaching staff to run more pick‑and‑rolls and better protect the rim.
What other moves occurred in the league?
San Isidro, under Sebastián Porta, renewed Nahuel Buchaillot, Manuel Lambrisca and Christopher Hooper, and added Tomás Botta and Tiago Tomatis. Meanwhile, Atenas retains its core of youngsters like Maximiliano Lizarraga, who will continue to lead the perimeter line.
What is expected for the upcoming season?
With Ledesma on the roster, Atenas de Córdoba aims to climb the standings and fight for a playoff spot. The head coach, not named in the release, has already planned high‑intensity practices to integrate the new forward before the season start slated for mid‑October.
The club also reinforced its staff: Matías Garavoglio will remain in charge of physical preparation and doctors Mariano Pispieiro and Carlos Márquez will continue medical oversight. Atenas believes the blend of experience and youth will allow it to compete with the Argentine League teams.
