has signed Gonzalo "Romanilly"
Manzano as its new head coach.
"If the Gonzalo from 15 years ago knew that he would end up competing on the biggest team in Brazil, he'd still be thinking about several things," Romanilly said. "One of my biggest challenges is coming up, and I've never been as ready as I am today. Just telling you all that I'm going to sacrifice everything I have to achieve the goals we set ahead of us."
Romanilly becomes the sixth head coach in LOUD's history and joins at a pivotal time. Once one of the most revered teams not just in Brazil but in the entire world, LOUD has slipped from its place atop professional Valorant. The Argentinian looks to become the first LOUD head coach since peu in 2024 to bring LOUD to the international stage, and the first since fRoD in 2023 to lift a trophy of any kind.
A well-traveled head coach in the LATAM Valorant sphere, Romanilly joins LOUD after spending the 2025 season with the Colombia-based

Romanilly's 2025 season with E-Xolos LAZER can be described as a success. The squad lifted trophies in Stage 1 and Stage 2 of the LATAM Challengers circuit, despite the midseason departure of star Duelist Virtyy, who, of course, joined LOUD. E-Xolos LAZER even carried a 31-match winning streak at one point, which dated back to 2024. The strong year, however, ended in disappointment. At the LATAM Finals, E-Xolos LAZER finished fourth out of four teams, missing out not just on the region's two Americas Ascension slots, but also failing to secure a play-in spot.
Since climbing the pre-partnership pyramid to lift Champions Istanbul in 2022, LOUD has shown glimpses of being title contenders in VCT, reaching two grand finals in 2023 and even lifting a regional trophy. A quieter 2024 saw the Brazilian giants qualify for Masters Madrid, but spend the rest of the season at home. In 2025, LOUD fell even further, winning just one match across Stage 1 and Stage 2 to finish dead last in the Championship Point standings.
Since the end of the season, LOUD has benched in-game leader RobbieBk , and parted ways with head coach Leader and assistant coach mat . Darker joined to round out the team's five-man roster, which is down to just two members who played on the team during the 2023 season.
