“The coach is very close, if not already closed.” Words from Jean Ferrari that confirm that Universitario is close to completing the replacement of Jorge Fossati in Ate. César Farías is the first candidate and the one most liked in the cream shop and who wears the overalls in the year of his 100th birthday. It was even learned that there is already an understanding on both sides, but his departure from Águilas Doradas seems to be the reason why everything cannot be closed.
And according to Argentine journalist Mariano Olsen, the Venezuelan coach should pay $400,000 to activate his release clause with the Colombian team. Let us remember that the coach, who has also played for the Bolivian and Venezuelan national teams, has a contract with the Colombian team until December 2024, a problem that must be resolved if he wants to reach Universitario.
At press time it was said that Farías is directly managing Águilas Doradas' release clause, although the “U” is no stranger to the matter and hopes to resolve the matter between today and tomorrow.

Farías has a history with clubs such as Deportivo Táchira, Zulianos, Xolos de Tijuana, Cerro Porteño, The Strongest and Aucas and is currently manager of Colombia's Águilas Doradas. For example, he campaigned in Ecuador, Bolivia and Venezuela. He also played for the Ecuadorian and Bolivian teams, although without success in the goal of qualifying for the World Cup.
“What we are looking for are coaches who adapt and are flexible, who are not coaches who have a closed system and are not going to change it. The complexity of the Peruvian championship is not due to the pace of play, but rather to geography. And we need to see coaches who know how to adapt to these circumstances,” said Ferrari, a Cream administrator, then added: “It is very close, if not already completed, but we are in a negotiation phase. “Of course I don't want to rush things, because in football nothing is closed until the document is signed.
On the other hand, the Cream manager spoke of Quispe's departure to Pumas, leaving the club and his replacement. “We cannot yet provide any information about Quispe as there is no signed document. We keep 10% of future sales. We are now concluding the question of the coach, which is the most important thing today, and we remain open with the quota of foreigners. “Large markets are still moving.”
