The most important topic of Peruvian football in recent weeks has undoubtedly been the continuity of Ricardo Gareca in charge of the Peruvian National Team. However, this Wednesday the 'Tigre' returns to his native Argentina and was captured by his neighbors getting ready with a lot of suitcases and along with his dog Almond, which would indicate that he will not return to the country.
As we know, on June 13, after losing to Australia on penalties and being eliminated from Qatar 2022, the contract of the 'Tigre' with the Peruvian Football Federation expired. However, the FPF continues to fight to get the Argentine strategist to renew and remain the coach of our national team.
Despite this, the fact that he is leaving heavily loaded with luggage and even with his pet has given a lot of thought to the fans of 'La Blanquirroja', especially if we take into account that in Argentina there are rumors about Ricardo Gareca's arrival at Boca Juniors after 'Xeneize' was eliminated from the Copa Libertadores, as everything points to the dismissal of Sebastián Battaglia.
However, to calm down the Peruvian fans a bit, journalist Gustavo Peralta revealed that the issue of the dog and the luggage is not something that decides whether the 'Tigre' stays or leaves, since due to the number of months he will be out of the country, it is normal for him to travel with all his loved ones.
"Regardless of whether he stays in Peru or not, he takes the dog because he is not coming until September. If he renews, he will return in that month for the friendly match in the United States, but during that time he has to take his pet. It is not an exact issue that speaks of his departure," said the sports communicator.
Who would be Ricardo Gareca's replacement?
In case Ricardo Gareca decides not to renew, there is a lot of talk about the interest in Sebastián Beccacece, who is currently the coach of Defensa y Justicia, even Martín Liberman indicated that everything was ready for him to wear the bicolor jacket. However, the sports journalist later retracted and indicated that Gareca was unique. Sampaoli has also been mentioned, but everything points to the fact that the former Racing coach could come if the 'Tigre' leaves.
