For Alianza Lima, the capital winter in the Liga 1 Betsson seems to have arrived. The crisis of results is now accompanied by the departure of Guillermo Salas. While the football world already knew that the club no longer had the coach, it was only last night that Chicho's departure was officially announced. | Liga 1 Betsson news.
MIRA: "There is no response from the technical staff or players": what is known about Chicho Salas' departure and why there is so much criticism in Alianza.
Hours earlier, Salas himself stated on RPP that no one had spoken to him about leaving, a situation that was finally made official with a statement from the club in which, in addition to thanking the outgoing coach, it is stated that the Colombian Nixon Perea, in charge of the reserves, will assume the position on an interim basis.
Three games without a win and the risk of losing the advantage in the standings led to the search for new options in the coaching staff. And while some names are being considered, what they are looking for in La Victoria are coaches who can improve the style of play, as they have a squad aiming for a third consecutive championship.
Today, sports manager José Bellina will hold a press conference to provide further information on what lies ahead for the blanquiazules.
-The profile-
Names like Luis Fernando Suárez, Alexandre Guimaraes, Alexander Medina, and Ricardo Gareca are being mentioned in La Victoria, but the position will go to whoever is capable of making the team play better.
A month ago, sports manager José Bellina was interviewed by Argentine Nicolás Rotnitzky for the podcast "Director deportivos," where he explains the profile that the person who will coach the team must have.
"Now the search is more technical, focused on the style of play, on the positions the team takes. How they play at a national and international level. How brave they are. How they play at the Monumental," Bellina said in the mentioned podcast.
The style of play aims for a team that takes control, dominates the game and constantly creates scoring opportunities, something that is currently lacking in La Victoria.
In addition, Alianza is looking for a coach who has good management skills with the management and the press, given the club's media presence, and above all, the relationship they can establish with the players.
According to Bellina, three aspects are analyzed to evaluate a coach working with the team, and where Guillermo Salas would have failed: results, the team's style of play, and the relationship with the players. In the first two, Chicho was in trouble.
Thus, more gray days are coming for Alianza, where only a victory this weekend in Trujillo can bring spring to the club.
