The novel Juan Reynoso, clinging to the Peruvian team, is writing its final chapters, this was announced by Jorge Fossati, the minor character who in the coming days could become the main character of the Peruvian Football Federation. In the last few hours the name of the Universitario coach has sounded louder and louder as one of the possibilities to replace Cabezón, whose relationship with the Blanquirroja is not yet complete but who came to us last Saturday Seenafter several days of absence to attend the training of the U-23, which is preparing for the Pre-Olympics to be held in Venezuela in January 2024.
Amid this panorama, the current Liga 1 champion coach gave a new interview to the Uruguayan media “Polideportivo” in which he thanked the FPF for its interest and once again left open the possibility of acceptance. “The desire to carry a national team is always a source of pride and honor. I really appreciate them calling me tomorrow from Greenland, where I’ve never worked, but I appreciate it much more if they’re calling you from a place where they know you, where you work or where you “I’ve worked before,” he said, explaining the reasons that led him to speak openly about this interest in the media.
“A few days ago they informed me that the association would contact me. Even during an interview, I received a call confirming what they had told me,” he said. Likewise, he added: “I spoke a little – openly – because I thought that the technical problem had been completely solved. But yesterday I learned that the recession would end on Monday. So, for me… (makes denial gesture). I have a contract until the end of 2024, but this is how it is: wait until things are decided and only then start talking about this issue if they still want to talk,” he added.

Likewise, Fossati responded to the possibility of being able to lead the Peruvian team without leaving the Merengue squad. A situation that has already been seen in South American football with the Fluminense coach, Fernando Dinizand the Verdeamarela.
“At first it seems to me that it is not compatible, but you have to look at the calendars because there can be a technician on both sides. It would not be the first time something like this has happened, it has happened before in the world, but he would have to have strong work teams under his command,” he explained.
