The Peruvian team suffered a tough defeat against Bolivia in La Paz and finished last in South American qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. After this duel, sports commentator Diego Rebagliati criticized sharply Juan Reynoso and compared it with Ricardo Gareca. The sports commentator pointed out that the national strategist was allowing the performance of the bicolor footballers to deteriorate.
“A coach is capable of strengthening himself and Gareca showed us that. He was able to make average football players play better. Nowadays, Juan Reynoso, average soccer players make them play worse. Is the footballer convinced of what Reynoso proposes?” asked the Movistar Deportes communicator.
Let us remember that “Cabezón” played five official matches with the Bicolor, of which they lost four (against Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Bolivia) and only drew one (Paraguay).
