“When the National Team coach is appointed, it will be done in the official format and bulletin of the Federation, meanwhile everything will be speculation,” assured the manager.
In a previous interview with this newspaper, he also said that it was crucial tmake a decision with a cool head: “It is important that this vacancy is filled in the shortest possible time, but that this does not force us to come out with any name. We have little time before we start racing in 2023. The important thing is to do a serious and judicious studyand find the person we consider the ideal for this new journey.”

I do not project myself to anything else, not because I am not satisfied with and adapted to Peru, it is a country where we believe we can develop and continue to accentuate more work, what interests me is the possibility of winning the playoff to go to the World Cup in Qatar , you need to be focused, once everything is over, you have to see what situation we are in and you can think regarding the future”.
