Juan Reynoso strongly sounds in the Peruvian National Team to be the replacement for Ricardo Gareca in the upcoming World Cup Qualifiers, and therefore, the Cruz Azul coach was asked about this possibility, responding that, for now, he dismisses any option in the medium or immediate term because he is happy with his life in Mexico.
In response to the questions linking him to the Peruvian National Team, the successful Peruvian coach did not hesitate to answer. What did Juan Reynoso say? We'll tell you.
"The truth is, I am very respectful of people and federations. It seems disrespectful to comment on it when there is already a coach and when I am very comfortable in Cruz Azul. Speculating about that is delicate. My immediate and medium-term future is here. It doesn't make sense to respond to that," said Juan Reynoso about his proximity to the Peruvian National Team.
In this way, Reynoso cools down the possibility that has been circulating on social media, as his priority is to achieve the bicampeonato with Cruz Azul at the end of the season. He knows they are not going through a good moment, so he only has his mind set on remedying this situation as soon as possible.
Along the same lines, he knows that Cruz Azul can bounce back in the following matchdays. He hopes that each of his players gives their all for the badge they wear on their chest in order to reach the direct playoff zone at the end of the regular stage.
"With a little more sacrifice, better results will come. It depends on us. We have five more matches, unlike most teams, where we can fight to get among the top four," he added.
When does Cruz Azul play?
Cruz Azul's next match will be against Atlas away from home, which is scheduled for Tuesday, October 19th at 21:05 Peru time.
When does Ricardo Gareca's contract end with the FPF?
Ricardo Gareca's contract with the FPF expires next year after the end of the Qatar 2022 World Cup Qualifiers. However, if the Peruvian National Team qualifies for the World Cup, his contract will automatically be extended until after the World Cup, and only then can they negotiate a possible continuation or go their separate ways.
