The Chilean national team begins the qualifiers with bad results
The Chilean national football team has had a bad start in the qualifiers. In their first match, they lost (3-1) against Uruguay, while in the second, they drew (0-0) against Colombia. This situation has led to an evaluation of some decisions that will be made in the upcoming double round of matches, when they face Peru and Venezuela.
Evaluating the coach Eduardo Berizzo
As expected, the criticisms are directed towards the coach Eduardo Berizzo, who currently does not have the full support of the fans. According to the Chilean press, there are names being considered as possible replacements.
POSSIBLE: Ricardo Gareca confessed and said in which country he would like to coach: "I would like it someday."
Possible replacements
Initially, Chile was interested in Ricardo Gareca, but he was ruled out as he showed little interest in taking charge of the Chilean national team. Therefore, the closest option is Gustavo Alfaro, who is currently available.
When could the change happen?
Berizzo's last chance would be against Peru and Venezuela in the next double round of matches. If he manages to come out successful in these matches, his continuity could be possible. Otherwise, a change of coach would be imminent.
Upcoming matches
Chile is getting ready to face the third and fourth rounds of the qualifiers, on October 12 at the Monumental Stadium in Santiago, and then on October 17 against Venezuela in Maturin.
