The coach, who led the U in Chile and was assistant to the Reds, with Casildense on the bench, is experiencing his first controversy on the bench in Ecuador.
It didn’t take long for Sebastián Beccacece to experience his first controversy as Ecuador coach. The transandine, who in Chile was Jorge Sampaoli’s assistant on the benches of the U and the national team, then led the Blues as head coach, faces a major challenge at the start of his management at the head of the Tri: he must visit Brazil. The match will be played this Friday, in Curitiba.
The strategist faces difficult questions. He is directly accused of spying on Verdeamarilla, a complaint that his main representatives also faced at the time. On this list, in addition to Sampaoli, Marcelo Bielsa must be added. While Casildense faced similar accusations during his time at La Roja, the Rosario star was involved in a similar scandal while managing Leeds United and aimed to obtain information from Derby County.
Three arrests
The scandal reached such a level that the Brazilian practice had to be suspended due to the interference of a drone that sought to obtain specific data on the plan that Dorival Júnior plans to deploy against the team of the half of the world. The police arrested an individual who identified himself as Colombian, Brazilian and Venezuelan.
“We are working with this hypothesis (of espionage), since during the first check this person was very reluctant and did not give any information, even giving false information about his identity. But we do not yet have complete data to make this statement. “, a Brazilian police officer told Globo Esporte, reporting the arrests.
“The Brazilian was piloting the drone, it flew low, close to the players and other people . When he saw that they were going to approach him, he made a maneuver and threw the drone against the trees. He was located, identified and, later, the Ecuadorian was also identified,” the police added.
Beccacece took over the Ecuadorian national team less than a month ago: on August 7. His presentation had a peculiarity: it took place in a shopping center.
On this double date, in addition to going to Brazil, the Ecuadorian team will host Peru on Tuesday in Quito. The team is seeking to qualify for its fifth World Cup, having appeared in Japan and Korea in 2002, Germany in 2006, Brazil in 2014 and Qatar in 2022. . In the current process, it is at least in the classification zone, since it occupies the fifth place, with eight units, despite the fact that it started with three less, for the sanction related to the irregular participation of Byron Castillo on the way to the event that took place in the emirate It ranks behind Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia and Venezuela.
