Hernán Darío Gómez Jaramillo, also known as El Bolillo (born February 3, 1956 in Medellín) is a Colombian ex-football player and manager.

He was an active player from 1966 to 1985.

He successfully led Ecuador to their first World Cup finals in 2002. However, he resigned after a disappointing performance by the Ecuadorian team at the Copa América 2004.

During the World Cup 2006, he was a commentator for Canal RCN.

On the May 5 2010 the Colombian Football Federation announced that Gomez was appointed as the successor of Eduardo Lara, who left the selection after failing to qualify for the 2010 FIFA World Cup finals.

Attack to woman

On Saturday 6 august 2011, on the pub "El Bembe" in Bogotá, Gomez attacked an unidentified woman. According to witnesses Gomez hit the woman at least four times at 11 p.m. near the entrance of the pub where he was accompanied by the woman minutes before.

When the facts were known, Gomez released a communication asking for forgiveness for his behavior and resigned to his participation as a member of the technical committee of the U-20 World Football Championship.

However multiple organizations, like 'Casa de la Mujer', expressed their discontent with the actuation of Gomez and asked for his resignation as manager of the Colombian football team.

Finally because of pressure from the media, the Colombian football team's sponsors, political and social celebrities and the general public, he takes the decision to resign as the manager of the Colombian football team.

However, due to recent polls, there has been information regarding that he should remain as coach due to how he immediately recognized his mistake. The national team players even support this regarding certain statements where they were disappointed with his actions but forgived him considering his immediate regret. Thus the Colombian soccer federation has postponed a final decision on whether to accept Gomez’s resignation until after the Under-20 World Cup.
