Former Chilean footballer Iván Zamorano revealed that the president of his country’s Football Federation (ANFP), Pablo Milad, pointed out Ricardo Gareca as one of the candidates to take command of the trans-Andean team.
“I’m worried that we don’t have a technician. Time passes and we should use it to work. I spoke with Milad and he told me that there were ten technicians in the pipeline, but the only name he gave me was Gareca,” said the Real Madrid attacker in statements to DSports.
Zamorano considered that Gareca “has one foot in the game. What he has done in Peru supports it, he is a coach who works very well and I don’t think he is so unfamiliar with Chilean football. We wish Ricardo the best of luck in this new process that will have next year with Chile”.
The Argentine coach has not coached for several months, when he left Vélez Sarsfield, after some bad results in the Argentine Professional League.
It should be noted that Gareca led the Peruvian team during two qualifying processes, reaching a place in the 2018 World Cup in Russia, being a finalist in the 2019 Copa América, fourth place in the 2021 edition of the continental tournament and a playoff that he lost in a penalty shootout. against Australia for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
