Ricardo Gareca is free and everything seems to indicate that he could become the new coach of the Paraguayan team after playing the first double date of the 2026 South American Qualifiers. In the Guaraní country it is mentioned that Guillermo Barros Schelotto would be dismissed after the tie against Peru and the defeat against Venezuela. Given this, the salary that ‘Tigre’ asked for to take the reins of Albirroja was known.
According to information from the Paraguayan press, ‘Flaco’ made known his salary expectations to the Paraguayan Football Association (APF) and the payment is a very high sum consisting of five million dollars.
“Ricardo Gareca would have asked for five million dollars plus prizes to lead the Paraguayan team,” reported journalist Luis Enrique, from Paraguay’s ‘Deporte total’.

Guillermo Barros Schelotto would be fired from Paraguay
Various media outlets in Paraguay indicated that the APF had given Guillermo Barros Schelotto the thumbs down and would not lead Albirroja again. His last game would have been in the 1-0 defeat against Venezuela.
“The coaching staff led by Guillermo Barros Schelotto directed Albirroja’s last game against Venezuela. In the next few days the decision will be official,” published journalist Federico Arias, from the ABC media in Paraguay.
