Jorge Fossati He is in Uruguay enjoying his rest days while waiting for contact from the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF) to negotiate a possible arrival in the Peruvian team. In recent days, the current strategist of the Universitario has been giving interviews and in one of these conversations he recalled the arrest of Sebastián Avellino.
Let us recall that the technical assistant and friend of the Uruguayan coach was arrested in Brazil and detained for several days after being accused of racism. During a conversation on the Polideportivo de Uruguay program, the coach recalled that difficult moment and how he learned of his teammate’s release.
“Manuel Barreto is my witness, he spends the game against Alianza and I tell him: ‘Find another coach because I can’t stay here another minute’. What should I do? I have no idea, I do.” Complete and utter helplessness. I’ll stop at a square in San Pablo. I’ll do something. But I won’t stay here. I cannot continue working normally when my colleague, friend and family are in this situation. At that moment he belongs to him “The phone vibrates, something happens, he looks and tells me: ‘Jorge, this can’t be right.’ And he tells me that they just freed Sebastián,” said Jorge Fossati, his eyes full of tears.
