After several days of uncertainty, the Universitario de Deportes chose its new coach. This Friday, December 29, the cream club resumed negotiations with Fabián Bustos and managed to terminate his contract for 2024. The 54-year-old coach will face the big challenge of winning the Ate team champion in the year of his 100th birthday and playing a good role in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores.
To achieve this, the Argentine must choose well the reinforcements that the 'U' will hire, but also convey his message to the players, repeating the same level of commitment that the team achieved with Jorge Fossati. Curiously, the strategist was able to count on the help of one of his students, with whom he already has experience in winning a title.
