Ricardo Gareca: Is the return of “Tigre” to the Universitario possible?
The arrival of the “Tigre” in the elite institution is very likely. The working proximity that he has with García Pye, who coincided with him during the “Gareca era” in the Peruvian team, would be a plus point for this agreement to be finalized. In addition, the Argentinean’s affinity with Universitario, where he directed 65 games and became national champion in 2008, could be the deciding factor in his return to Peru as a director.

Despite it; The bad moment he experienced with Vélez Sarsfield in Argentine football could be a reason for Gareca to hesitate about managing a league club again. Gareca was only able to play 12 games with Fortín, in which he drew 7, lost 4 and won only 1, which is why he himself considered his resignation feasible due to the club’s decline.
