One of the reasons for Universitario to recover ground in the Liga 1 after the bad results at the beginning of the year was the choice of Jorge Fossati as the new coach by the club's high spheres, and from the first moment he changed the team's mindset, to the point that they don't know about defeats until now.
Even in the last 30 days, their numbers are more than impressive as they ended unbeaten in April, a performance that the Professional Football League chose for the second time in a row the Uruguayan as the Coach of the Month in the championship, surpassing Guillermo Salas (Alianza Lima) and Pablo Peirano (Cusco FC), the other nominees for the award.
This was announced by the official account of the tournament on its social networks. "Jorge Fossati: 12 points, 4 victories, leader, unbeaten. Here's our Coach of the Month", it reads in the publication.
Fossati in April: effectiveness, goals, and defensive order
The 'Mister' has taken the recognition from start to finish. His records last month at the local level have been quite outstanding. In addition to not losing any matches (12 out of 12 possible points), the experienced strategist has given solidity to his team in all its lines.
If we also consider the matches for the Sudamericana, Universitario never lost in April.
If we talk about the offensive aspect, his players have scored nine goals in four matches, more than two goals per game on average. In addition, the defensive level continues to rise, keeping a clean sheet in two matches and only conceding two goals (Atlético Grau and Deportivo Municipal).
What will be Fossati's next test with 'U' in the league?
Universitario de Deportes rests on matchday 15 of the Torneo Apertura, but after their match against Independiente Santa Fe, they will return to action on May 14 in Sullana against Alianza Atlético.
