Caracas Football Club announced on Saturday that former Venezuelan striker Fernando Aristeguieta will be the new technical director, replacing Henry Meléndez, who held the position for three months.
“Welcome, teacher. Caracas has always been the place where you like to be,” the team said in a post on the social network X, where it shared a video describing Aristeguieta’s career in the team.
Aristeguieta, 32, played for Caracas for two periods in which he scored 43 goals and provided 18 assists.
Prior to the announcement of this new position, the former striker served as head coach of Mexican side Puebla.
The club announced this Saturday the departure of Henry Meléndez as coach, a position he held for just three months, in which he achieved two victories, three draws and eight defeats in the Apertura Tournament of the Venezuelan League and in the Copa Libertadores.
“The board of directors of Caracas Fútbol Club announces the termination of the contract, by mutual agreement, of technical director Henry Meléndez,” the team said in a statement published in X.
He also reported that Meléndez will continue to lead the coordination of the institution’s minor categories.
In this year’s Apertura Tournament, the capital team was eliminated from the final phase, in eleventh place in the standings with only 12 points.
Meanwhile, in the Copa Libertadores the team finished last in its group with just one point, following five losses and one draw.
