The prodigal son returns
Victor 'El Chino' Rivera is the new coach of the University of San Martín de Porres. The national coach returns to the 'Santo' team after almost 13 years, the team with which he became national champion of Peruvian football in the 2007 and 2008 seasons. Will he be able to repeat the feat with a relatively young team?

A trusted person
After the dismissal of Professor Juan José Luvera, the University of San Martín sought a trusted person, someone who could enhance the promising footballers of the institution and at the same time reverse the current poor performance of the first team. With extensive experience in both the first division and the youth teams, Victor Rivera was chosen. 'El Chino' will have the difficult task of getting the 'Santa' squad out of this bad moment.
Work to start this Wednesday
It is estimated that this Wednesday the work will begin with Victor Rivera at the Santa Anita venue in preparation for the match they will have this weekend against FBC Melgar. The University of San Martín de Porres is in last place in the standings with only 3 points in 8 games played. Likewise, they are the team with the worst goal difference in the local tournament: -15.
A glimmer of hope
Despite the adverse situation, the USMP team is only 1 point behind Cantolao and 2 points behind Sport Boys. A victory at home this round could improve things in the Liga 1 Betsson.
