La Roja already has the interim coach to lead against Ecuador in Quito

The Chilean team will have to quickly recover from its latest blows. The national team drew goalless against Paraguay in the fifth round of qualifying, a result that leaves La Roja outside the qualification zone for the next World Cup.

On another side, The Everyone’s Team will have the mission of picking up the points in Ecuador this Tuesday from 8:30 p.m. without the presence of Eduardo Berizzo, who resigned from his post. .

The question immediately arose as to who would be responsible for taking control of this match against El Tri. Thus, the ANFP has determined that Nicolás Córdova, who holds the position of technical manager of the men’s youth teams, will be at the head of the team while waiting to look for a definitive coach. thinking about the rest of the Qualifiers, where some names are already under discussion.

In fact, Cordoba must be responsible for carrying out the day of private training planned for this Friday before Sunday’s trip to Quito.

Once the match against Paraguay ended, Eduardo Berizzo made a brief statement in which he communicated his decision. “I have just spoken with the president of the Federation and expressed my desire to leave office. The results were not those expected. We have to recognize that when things don’t work out, we have to know how to recognize it. “, he started to say.

“I want to thank everyone who worked with me. From the closest collaborator, to my coaching team, to the people of Pinto Durán, to María José (Vasconcelos), to the accessories, to the cancheros because they committed their work for the national team. We basically thank the players who have committed to this process and wish them good luck,” he added.

Despite this, the red players gave their support to the Argentinian. Alexis Sánchez, for example, was surprised by this announcement. “I’m going sad. With regret. We worked well and sometimes it is unfair for the coach to leave, so he gave it to each player on each of the working days. “.

“What happened is also our responsibility. For example, in Venezuela we should have always been focused and we ended up losing the match,” Tocopillano continued.

In turn, Gary Medel reacted with annoyance. “It’s a difficult time. It’s a big loss, because Toto works well “, said the defender.

“The teacher was mistreated. We are going through a replacement process and we have to wait a little. They did not let him work in peace. People don’t respect processes . Eduardo leaves sad, because a good atmosphere has been created in the locker room. He renovated the Pinto Durán complex with money from his own pocket, I hope it pays off,” he added.
