Richard Páez

Richard Páez, Venezuelan coach who was in charge of Alianza Lima in 2008, when the team fought to avoid relegation, has been presented with great fanfare at Deportivo Cuenca in Ecuadorian football. The coach has the mission of pulling the northern team out of the football crisis.

New head in Cuenca

'Considered one of the best Technical Directors in the history of Venezuelan football, with a long career and experience, Professor Richard Páez Monzón takes over as the head coach of our team. GOOD LUCK DOCTOR! #LaPasiónNuncaSeAcaba', the club from Ecuador commented on their official Twitter account, announcing the arrival of their new strategist.

After the team's poor football results, which led to the departure of Argentine Aníbal Biggeri and the replacement, Uruguayan Guillermo Sanguinetti (another former coach of Alianza Lima), leaving for Santa Fe, Colombia, the directors have opted for the experience of Richard Páez.
