In this way, 'Chicho' leaves the institution after winning the titles of Liga 1 2022 and Torneo Apertura 2023. Although the blanquiazul team showed a great level during the first half of the year, they have not been able to repeat their good performances in the Clausura.
It is important to note that, so far in July, Alianza has only been able to achieve one victory. On the other hand, the team suffered a defeat against Deportivo Municipal, in addition to the two draws against Universitario and Sporting Cristal, their direct rivals.
In that sense, the final decision would have been made after drawing against the merengue team at the Alejandro Villanueva Stadium in the fifth round. After the match, club members claimed that the team had not been playing at their best.
