Guayas’ federation signals the end of the relationship with the coach who took them to Qatar. In addition to the dispute that the winger generated and involved Chile, there were economic differences.
Gustavo Alfaro will not continue to command the Ecuadorian team. The federation chaired by Francisco Egas has officially announced the end of the relationship with the Argentine coach, who led the Guayas team during the World Cup in Qatar, for which he had managed to qualify. Technically, the contractual relationship had ended with participation in the planetary event. However, both parties had reserved the prerogative to negotiate an extension.
The Ecuadorian press claim that Alfaro made this decision for sporting reasons, one of the most powerful being related to the Byron Castillo affair, which will involve starting at a disadvantage in the next Qualifiers. Although, contrary to the interests of Chile and Peru, the Tri were also able to play the World Cup, at the start of the road to the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada, he will arrive at a disadvantage, since three points will be deducted.
Alfaro clashed with management led by Francisco Egas, regarding Castillo. The coach’s intention was to include the player in the World Cup roster, despite being warned of the possibility of further penalties. This case, still according to the Ecuadorian press, “He faced Alfaro with the FEF until the end” good “the management did not allow him” include it. The former Boca Juniors coach felt he had lost support.
The economic factor
There is another equally powerful factor in explaining divorce. Alfaro hoped that after the World Cup the management would offer him better economic conditions. And, moreover, that he and his direct collaborators be paid the sums owed to them since November. As none of this happened, Alfaro was disappointed.
“On December 20, when they met before the holidays in Quito, Francisco Egas promised to pay him. However, since then, only a third part has been canceled. By not resolving this situation, it was difficult to sit down and talk about the sports project and the continuity, ”explains the Argentinian sports newspaper Olé, about this breaking edge.
