Jorge Fossati is the most real option to be Juan Reynoso’s replacement Peruvian team. The current coach of the Universitario confirmed a few days ago that the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF) had contacted the “U” to discuss the issue of his arrival to the Bicolor. The veteran DT explained that there was no direct contact with him and that he will speak about the issue when Reynoso’s departure is officially announced, which will happen soon.
His eventual entry into the national team is becoming more and more common, especially because Fossati has not denied this possibility and has left the door open to talk about his future in the Bicolor. The current top coach would meet with the FPF’s general director of football, Juan Carlos Oblitasas soon as the separation from Juan Reynoso becomes official.

He also has to deal with the question of his contract with Universitario, which ends at the end of 2024. According to the lawyer Marcelo Bee Selllares, who specializes in sports and administrative law, the Uruguayan coach “has a unilateral termination clause (compensation) reciprocal” with the cream box.
What is Jorge Fossati’s contract with Universitario?
In an interview with Infobae Perú, the Argentine lawyer explained what is the basis of this connection between both parties, which can only be resolved by paying compensation.
“It is a mutual termination clause that the coach has with the club and a clause that gives the coach the possibility of unilaterally terminating the contract by paying compensation,” said Marcelo Bee Selllares.
This means that either party can terminate the contract at any time. “In this way he is contractually separated from the club and could sign with the association, which is what he has signed. “The fact that it is reciprocal means that it can also be used by the club towards the coach within the same nature and concept,” the lawyer added.
What did Jorge Fossati say about managing Universitario and the Peruvian team at the same time?
The Uruguayan strategist appeared on the Uruguayan show “Teledoce” and spoke about his possible future. Fossati pointed out that he needed to have two strong groups to be able to lead the Cream team and the Bicolor team.
“It wouldn’t be the first time that a coach played on two sides. He would have to have two strong working groups and lead them. My contract with the ‘U’ runs for another year, but we will wait.” “Things have to be decided (about Reynoso’s departure) and only then start talking,” he explained.
