Pepe Soto will seek his revenge with Juan Aurich, as he has renewed his contract with the Chiclayo institution with the goal of achieving promotion to Liga 1, which eluded him in 2020 when he lost in the final to Alianza Atlético de Sullana.
"Renewed! The leadership and experience of our coach extends for a new season. Pepe Soto and Juan Aurich will fight in 2021 for promotion to Liga 1, and the happiness of our fans," says the message shared by the Chiclayo club on social media.
The scarlets reached the final of Liga 2 - 2020 by defeating Unión Huaral 4-3 in the semifinals. In the promotion match, Juan Aurich lost 2-1 to Alianza Atlético with a goal in extra time.
Remember that Pepe Soto was rumored to become the new coach of Alianza Lima, however, the board of the victorian team decided to hire Argentine Carlos Bustos.
