- The Argentine became coach of the national team of the Andean country in 2015.
The Peruvian newspaper El Comercio reported that he had not renewed his contract with the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF). According to the broadcaster “RPP”, Gareca had not accepted the offer.
The Argentine became coach of the national team of the Andean country in 2015. With him and former Bundesliga professionals Paolo Guerrero and Jefferson Farfán, Peru qualified for the 2018 World Cup in Russia – and took part in a World Cup for the first time in 36 years. Peru missed the World Cup (November 21 to December 18) in Qatar after being fifth in South America after a penalty shootout in the intercontinental playoff match against Australia.
In Argentina, local media brought Gareca, who had worked as a club coach in several countries in South America before his engagement in Peru, now in connection with the traditional club Boca Juniors. He also heated up the discussions in Brazil, where FC Santos is looking for a new coach.
