After the negative start of the Peruvian team The Peruvian Football Federation (FPF) has determined this for the 2026 South American qualifiers Juan Reynoso will not be continued in the technical direction of the bicolor. The 4 defeats and 2 draws in the 6 contested dates led the board to take the decision to dismiss “Cabezón”, who had already indicated in the last press conference after the draw against Venezuela that he intended to continue the process and his contract to end in 2025.
However, the FPF’s general director of football, Juan Carlos Oblitas, had the task of meeting with him days after the game against Vinotinto and informing him that he would no longer continue in this position. Thereafter, a stage of negotiations was entered into between both parties to seal the separation in accordance with the signed contract.
In recent days, when it looked like the official announcement of Reynoso’s departure would be made, that didn’t happen. In the midst of this panorama, Líbero journalist Gustavo Peralta reported Both parties are currently far from reaching an agreement. The communicator specified that the question of termination of the contract was “green” and that until this was resolved, no interviews would be conducted with other coaches.

“As for Juan Reynoso and the FPF: the negotiations are still a long way off. The theme is green,” says the source. “It should be noted that until the contract is finalized, no progress can be made in formal meetings with other technicians,” he wrote on his Twitter account.
When would the Peruvian team have a new coach?
According to Peralta, a commission has been formed within the FPF, accompanied by Juan Carlos Oblitas, to find the new national coach in January. “The Commission’s idea is to publish the new DT during the month of January,” he concludes in his tweet.
When will the Peruvian team play again?
