The Peruvian fan wants Ricardo Gareca to be the eternal coach of the Peruvian National Team. And it's because qualifying for the World Cup after 36 years and being close to another tournament make the popular 'Tiger' untouchable on home soil. However, there is a situation that could distance him from Videna in the future.

As it is known, Ricardo Gareca had a contract with the Peruvian national team until the end of the Qualifiers. In other words, after the match against Paraguay, the 'Tiger' concluded his link. However, qualifying for the playoffs automatically extends his stay with the national team.
Furthermore, if we make it to another World Cup, his contract will be extended until the end of December 2022.
Free Gareca
From that moment, Ricardo Gareca is a free coach and can listen to offers from any team or national team. However, there is the possibility that no matter what happens in the Qatar World Cup, the FPF may want to renew his contract.
Ricardo Gareca has expressed his happiness with his stay in Peru, but the only thing that would prevent him from renewing would be a potential offer from the Argentine national team. The coach himself has said that it is a dream for him to coach his country.
"Argentine football is a goal. I am a super fan of Argentine football. The only possibility for me not to renew with Peru is if I had concrete possibilities with the Argentine national team," he commented to ESPN some time ago.
It should be remembered that Ricardo Gareca signed a contract with the Peruvian national team in 2015. The FPF also negotiated with Colombian coach Reinaldo Rueda.
