The "Tigre" Gareca arrived in the early morning hours to our country and was escorted by the Peruvian National Police at the Jorge Chávez International Airport.

The reason why Ricardo Gareca arrived in Peru is to give a definitive answer to the FPF, who has proposed that he continue with the Peruvian National Team for another World Cup Qualification process, which would be his third as the coach of the team: Russia 2018, Qatar 2022, and now United States, Mexico, and Canada 2026. The response from the Tigre will be known in the next few hours.
It should be noted that Líbero announced exclusively on Saturday, June 25 in its print edition that Ricardo Gareca would arrive in our capital with the answer about his continuity or not in the national team.
