With the departure of coach Alexander Medina, 'El Fortín' is in search of a new trainer, which is why the name of the former coach of the national team is strongly rumored.
Vélez Sarsfield from Argentina lost their last match against Boca Juniors by 2 goals to 1, which meant the end of the coaching career of Uruguayan coach Alexander 'Cacique' Medina after 40 matches in which he only achieved 11 victories.
It was the sports director of Vélez, Christian Bassedas, who announced this measure in a press conference. "To be clear as an institution, we have decided by mutual agreement to interrupt Medina's cycle at Vélez. It is a moment of sadness, because we have a very deep bond apart from the professional aspect, but it is part of the journey. There is not much more to say," he declared.
With this announcement, 'El Fortín' has started the immediate search for a replacement, and according to the Argentine newspaper Olé, names like Eduardo Domínguez and Sebastián Beccacece have emerged, one of whom is known to Peruvians, former national team coach Ricardo Gareca.
It is known that 'El Tigre' has a close relationship with Bassedas, so this would be a step that would allow the Argentine team to have him. They even have the opportunity to speak with him, as Ricardo Gareca is in the city of Córdoba for personal reasons, so there is a possibility for the coach and the directors to sit down and talk.
This announcement has generated the attention of the fans, who are excited about the return of Ricardo Gareca, who coached the club in 2009, so it is known that this week the Club's Board of Directors and the Technical Secretariat will meet to discuss the issue.
Although this information may generate certain doubts, this is after strong rumors in Ecuador about Gareca becoming the new coach of the national team, although this has not yet become a reality, so the idea of seeing the former coach of the Peruvian national team in the Vélez Sarsfield shirt is not far from reality.
