After the first four dates of Qualification for the 2026 World Cup, Juan Reynoso’s acceptance among Peruvian fans has declined. The sight of the Bicolor in the penultimate position of the table disappoints many, which is why the general director of football of the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF), Juan Carlos Oblitas, expressed his willingness to support the coach’s work, although he admitted that the team needs to improve.
“The technical director is Juan Reynoso and as long as he is here he will have every possible support from me. When you start publicly supporting a coach, you have to be careful. What Agustín (Lozano) did was the board’s support for Juan, and that’s the direction we’re all moving towards. No one has a crystal ball to see what the future holds. “With Agustín we agreed that after the games in November, regardless of the result, we would sit down with Juan to prepare a full report on the events,” Ciego said. He also expressed his opinion on the presence of Ricardo Gareca in more than one advertisement in our country.
“He has commercial commitments. What he explained Ricardo (Gareca) He always said it, it didn’t surprise me. Yes, they were said at an inopportune time due to the proximity of the games, but I am sure that was not their intention,” he said.
The manager also denied that there was any discussion between them Paolo Guerrero and Reynoso. “I don’t have any news about it at all. Paolo’s reaction was an outburst and I’ll talk to him. “I have a lot of trust in him and I don’t want that trust to be lost,” he said.
And about Christian Cueva he explained: “Yes, he has a knee problem that limits him even if he wants to play.” He is not in the best physical condition. His not calling is a technical decision.”
