"Today Ricardo Gareca no longer has the options of Colombia and Chile, which are national teams that always called him. At one point, Boca Juniors was also a possibility. However, in recent days, it has been reported that the Qatar national team has contacted Ricardo Gareca's environment for him to take charge after the World Cup," Gustavo Peralta told ESPN's television program.
"The information I have is that it is not an offer that makes him think he has to go there due to various factors, including personal, family, and many other issues. That is to say, it continues to leave the feeling that he would stay in Peru," the journalist said about Ricardo Gareca's situation.
