Universitario presented its squad for the 2024 season in the famous event Cream night. Not only fans and officials took part in this event, but also some former footballers and legends of the club. However, one of the absentees was the Creams' two-time champion coach (1999-2000), Roberto Chale, who is in poor health. To the surprise of some fans, the family of the former Peruvian team came forward.
The family is popular through their social networks 'Enfant terrible' She posted a long message and was outraged when she explained that the former footballer had not been invited by Universitario. Likewise, they turned to the cream box and asked the reasons for such a decision, even suggesting that the club might try to “erase them from history.”
“Our father wasn’t invited. As a family, we don't understand what our father did to them and we want to erase him from the club's history. They will be reminded of his impeccable campaigns as a coach, the titles and the joys that brought them. This was not written by his son, but by his entire family, with great regret,” says the Facebook account 'Enfant terrible'.

“In addition, they are using the visit of Alianza Lima representatives to say that it is something political for their own club to erase him from its history. This is unfortunate and we really expect an explanation from the board because that's pretty obvious. Roberto Chale must be part of the 100th anniversary of the “U,” the message concludes.
