One day after his Press conference farewell in the Peruvian National Team, Ricardo Gareca left the national territory in the direction of the city of Buenos Aires.
This Wednesday, Ricardo Gareca went to Jorge Chavez International Airport to return to Argentina. Over there, the ex-coach of the Peruvian National Team received dozens of applause from passengers who were in the air terminal. Some even sought to take a picture with the ‘Tiger’.
RPP Deportes was able to talk briefly with Gareca before you take your flight and you were consulted about John Reynoso, one of the technicians who point as a candidate to replace him in the white and red. The DT had no problem responding to his Peruvian colleague.
What Ricardo Gareca said in relation to Juan Reynoso
“Juan is one of the best soccer coaches. Yes, of course (as to whether he thinks he can do a good job),” was what the former Vélez Sarsfield, Palmeiras and Universitario de Deportes indicated.
Previously, the Argentine strategist referred to the signs of affection he received on the spot. The fan has him in mind because he took the bicolor to Russia 2018 and a Copa América final.
“Thank you all very much. Appreciation. Thank you very much. We will always want the best for the national team,” was what he said Ricardo Garecawho signed for the ‘everybody’s team’ in 2015.
In this way, the chapter of the ‘Tiger’ in the Peruvian first team is closed. The ultimate goal was not given: to qualify for the Qatar 2022 World Cup in June.
Gareca and a last goodbye in Peru
“I think we were in a position to have been able to win a title. In all the Copa América we were on a podium. In the Centennial we came out fifth in the general sum. There is a team to achieve it. It’s difficult because you compete with the best teams”, he commented in his press conference.
In addition, he added that “we chose to stay in the pandemic because we always prioritize the team. We had to be on top so that everything could be reactivated (Peruvian soccer).”
Ricardo Gareca’s numbers with Peru
Ricardo Gareca led 96 games with the Peruvian National Team, adding 39 wins, 23 draws and 34 losses.
Under the baton of the ‘Tiger’, the ‘bicolor’ managed to return to the World Cups after 36 years after qualifying for Russia 2018. The pass to the event came after the victory against New Zealand in the playoff in 2017.
