The Juan Reynoso era in Videna has come to an end, although negotiations have not yet been completed to conclude the contract that binds the national coach to the Peruvian team, the Peruvian Football Federation has already started the plan to find the ideal replacement.
A few days ago there was talk of José Néstor Pékerman and even Ricardo Gareca, the latter being excluded by Juan Carlos Oblitas. However, there is one name that is at the top of the list of possibilities. Jorge Fossati, who, in addition to his experience on the bench, comes to the fore after winning the championship with Universitario this year.
Although Jean Ferrari, administrator of the “U”, assured last Thursday that no one from the FPF was in contact with the club since the strategist has a contract for the entire year 2024, the Uruguayan coach is in his holiday country , he confessed that Oblitas would travel with the intention of meeting him.

“Yesterday (Thursday) I found out that the Peruvian federation had spoken to the authorities of the Universitario, who did not agree, and that apparently the football director of the federation would travel to Uruguay to meet with me,” he said, leaving the door open. “Two-tone”.
“I am honored that the national team of the country where I work is looking for me. “We would have to start studying it, I don’t have a position yet,” he added to Sport 890.
The Uruguayan coach pointed out that the decision would not be permanent as he had duties with the elite team. “I can’t be at Universitario: ‘Well, wait and see if I reach an agreement, we will need 10 days.’ Universitario returns to preseason in 15 days. We are making decisions about the 2024 squad. The contract has already been signed and has been extended in a special way. I can terminate the contract at any time, just as the club can terminate it. But it seems to me that you have to have respect,” he explained.

“It seems to me that it depends on the time, because the university is my priority because it is my reality. Even if we met today, I don’t know what project they will propose to me. [en lo] sporty and economical. I would have to analyze all this and would only accept it if my colleagues and I are convinced that we can succeed,” he concluded.
On the other hand, it was confirmed that the “U” has made a formal proposal to Christofer Gonzales like Alianza Lima and the Argentine goalkeeper Óscar Ustari (37 years old), who is on a free transfer after his time in Pachuca. No doubt there will be news in the cream shop in the next few days.
