CLNéstor Lorenzo has been retained as the head coach of the Colombian national football team after leading them to the round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup in North America. The Colombian Football Federation (FCF) announced the renewal of his contract following evaluations of his work over the past four years, particularly during the recent World Cup campaign. Colombia performed well in the tournament, winning their group and advancing further than their previous best of quarterfinals (from the 2014 World Cup in Brazil), though they were eliminated by Switzerland in a penalty shootout.

Lorenzo took charge of the team in July 2022, replacing Reinaldo Rueda, and has led them to 31 wins, 12 draws, and eight losses across 51 matches.
