The Venezuelan national team
is not doing well in the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers, and would be in search of a new coach. According to journalist Francisco Blavia from DirecTV Sports, José Néstor Pékerman would have everything arranged to become the new coach of the Vinotinto.
The Argentine would assume his position in January 2022. The strategist has great experience in qualifiers, as he directed the Argentine national team between 2004 and 2006, and the Colombian national team between 2011 and 2018. In addition, he qualified for the World Cup with both squads.

The coach would thus replace Leonardo González, who took over on an interim basis after the abrupt resignation of Portuguese José Peseiro due to problems with the Venezuelan Football Federation.
The strategist will seek to lift Venezuela from the bottom of the table in this qualifying process. The llaneros have only accumulated seven points, with two wins, one draw, and ten defeats.
Venezuela will seek a victory against Peru
The Venezuelan national team will face Peru on Tuesday, November 16th at 4 p.m. (Peruvian time) for Matchday 14 of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers. This match will be played at the Olympic Stadium in Caracas. The Vinotinto will seek a victory that will allow them to climb out of the bottom of the table.
Tomas Rincon, captain of the llanero squad, referred to this match. "We have to give our utmost every time we wear the Vinotinto because it was the dream we had as children and here we are. We have to recover because we are playing against Peru and we want to have a good match and give a victory to our country," he said.
