[edit]
Main article: Torneo Clausura 2008 (Paraguay)

For the Clausura tournament the club hired the requested players by coach Gustavo Costas to fight for the title. However, poor performances and results both in the Paraguayan first division and Copa Sudamericana tournament resulted in the resignation of the Argentine coach on August 28.[3] On the next day, Paraguayan Ever Hugo Almeida was chosen as the new coach of Olimpia, marking his return to the club since the 1993 season where he won the first division title in undefeated fashion.[4]
