And Ecuador? A club in Mexico has Ricardo Gareca in its sights

The Argentine coach Ricardo Gareca has not hidden that there are talks with the Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) to assume command of the national team.

The trainer showed his interest in being the substitute for his compatriot Gustavo Alfaro, who ended his contract after Qatar 2022 and after several days of waiting made the decision not to renew his relationship.

“We have already taken a step, we have met, we are at that stage. We already met the president (of the FEF, Francisco Egas) we had a talk, other issues are being arranged, which are part of the negotiations, but there is good intention and interest from them, ”he specified.

“There is also my interest in being able to take on a team as important as the Ecuadorian one. We are in talks and there is interest from both parties, ”added the Tiger in conversation with the Argentine journalist Gustavo Cherquis.

And although there are dialogues with Ecuador, from Mexico the press of that country pointed out that the Tiger would be in the crosshairs of Cruz Azul.

“Juan Francisco Palencia is one of those who has gained strength the most, especially due to his past as a Cruz Azulino. And although he is available, so far he has not had contact with the leaders, ”says the portal TVAzteca.

“Jaime Lozano is another of the alternatives for Cruz Azul, being a young coach who is waiting for a good project to direct. On the other hand, Ricardo Ferretti is also one of the most attractive cards for the Machine, since “Tuca” is still without a team despite his enormous experience and winning legacy in LIGA BBVA MX”, he added.

The note refers to the fact that after those mentioned above in the cement scene, two Argentine coaches appear.

“Other candidates that have sounded on previous occasions are Hugo Sánchez and Antonio Mohamed. Although the most requested by the fans is the case of the “Turk”. Finally, from abroad, the option that has been heard the most is that of the Argentine Ricardo Gareca, who left very good results as Peru’s coach and who is currently without a club,” the portal said.
