Revisionism invites us to play with the origin of the
Institute
itself , whose first Board of Directors was made up of the workers of the Córdoba Central Railway.
Today, this team that stars in the Professional League just one year after its return to the First Division, is an unstoppable train.
And if Alumni was his inspiration in 1918, that's why the red and white colors on his shirt, he now teaches with
Diego Dabove
.
With 17 points and a favorable goal difference, they are the leader of zone A of the League Cup
.
And, for the pride of the people of Cordoba, look down on Talleres and Belgrano, no less.
“The idea was to be able to put together a team to continue strengthening Instituto during the second year in the highest category, leaving the basis of the 2023 team, which achieved permanence.
This working group has been carrying out these efforts since I became president in 2021. We achieved promotion to the First Division and did not go down again;
On the contrary, we empower ourselves,”
Juan Cavagliatto
, president of La
Gloria
, told
Clarín
.
Dabove.
He arrived at Instituto in June of last year and established himself with a team that is fighting at the top.

He is the youngest leader to take the reins of the Institute.
At just
36 years old
, he took charge of the club after the resignation of Roberto Castoldi in the midst of an institutional and sporting crisis.
How could it have been that Mauricio Caranta resigned from the technical direction when the team was second to last, closer to Federal A than to the Professional League.
Fresh out of the pandemic, with lawsuits in tow and with 938 active members, the second vice president took the helm.
On August 28, 2022, Cavagliatto was elected president at a General Assembly.
There was no opposition or elections
.
A year and a half later, this man who was trained in basketball through the inheritance of his grandfather
Toto
and his father Mario, mentors of the sport of orange ball in the club, can boast of having rebuilt Instituto Atlético Central Córdoba.
Today, the number of 35 thousand members is synonymous with support for his management.
And a sustained growth that was not only ratified with the promotion and competitiveness in the football elite;
also, with the Super 20 and in the Basketball Super Cup.
“This project is more than 10 years old.
First, winning the Córdoba league and then, climbing the corresponding steps until becoming South American champions in December,” says
Tatú
, as the president is known.
Of course, football dominates the scene.
And in that sense, Cavagliatto appointed
Federico Bessone
as manager and
Lucas Bovaglio
as coach.
With the promotion completed, since June of last year it has been directed by Dabove.
And as for the reinforcements, 9 footballers arrived.
Silvio Romero, in a cyclical career that began at the Institute, returned with all of his experience.
Also joining were Stéfano Moreyra (Colón), Víctor Cabrera (Tigre), Ignacio Russo (Rosario Central), Facundo Suárez (América de Cali), Rodrigo Pérez (Defensor Sporting), Guido Mainero (Sarmiento), Marcos Peano (Unión) and Miguel Brizuela (Vélez).
Manuel Roffo, a guarantee in the Cordoba goal.
When he made a mistake, they supported him, and he was a figure against Huracán.

“Getting to the top was a satisfaction for the team and we put pressure on the rest.
It was a home win that we needed.
This is a group of 30 players and we are all united.
And we have to continue on this path.
Hopefully we can qualify among the four," said Dabove after the victory (2 to 0) against Huracán, on Monday in Alta Córdoba.
Right there, in that Monumental stadium that renewed its entire lighting system with 69 pieces of equipment with 1200 watt LED technology.
Likewise, the old columns located on the Diego Klimowicz preferential tribune were dismantled and the new ones were placed on Sucre Street.
“I saw the summary of the game. Great Institute! Very, very happy. Congratulations to all the people of La
Gloria , ”
Osvaldo Ardiles
told
Clarín
.
El
Pitón
is one of the idols of the Córdoba club, a member of one of the best teams in its history, the one that played in the Nacional in 1973 and had, among others, Matador Mario Alberto Kempes, Loco Saldaño, Alberto Beltrán and
Zurdo
Ceballos.
That year, Daniel Willington, another hero of Córdoba football, arrived on loan.
His most modern gem is
Paulo Dybala
, like Ardiles and Kempes, world champion, but in HD.
"I'm happy at Instituto because this is a great team in the category. And the whole group puts in their efforts to move forward. The club always delivers and now we are at the top and we are looking to qualify among the top four. And I can't forget the fans, who always support and are on our side,” said
Fernando Alarcón
, team captain.
Proof of this can be confirmed by
Manuel Roffo
, the goalkeeper who arrived from Tigre and established himself as a starter.
Responsible for the defeat with Independiente, he was supported that same day with encouragement from the stands, and he emerged as a figure against Huracán.
The team trains in La Agustina, a 9-hectare property that the club acquired in 1974 in exchange for 25 thousand dollars that were obtained thanks to the sale of Kempes to Rosario Central.
It still preserves the castle built by Alfredo Larrosa, husband of Agustína - hence the name of the place -, daughter of Carlos Tillard, a French industrialist who arrived in Córdoba and bought the land delimited to the south by Santa Rosa Street, to the north by Av. Japan, to the east by Juan B. Justo and to the west by Monsignor Pablo Cabrera.
The Primera, the lower divisions work right there and the pension was built with 40 footballers who dream of succeeding in Glory
like
these players who make the great red and white portion of Córdoba proud.
