In this northern country, every move that Tigre makes in Santiago is closely followed and the press has devoted several articles to his complicated present.
In Peru, they are paying attention to what Ricardo Gareca is doing in La Roja. In the neighboring country, since Tigre’s first day in Santiago, we have followed in his footsteps. ““The one who took us to the World Cup has just signed a contract with the Chilean national team to replicate what he did with the red and white team, his first rival in the Copa América,” they wrote on the site. Peru 21 after the arrival of the DT in the capital. Now, seven months after their arrival, they are enjoying the poor results of the national team.

Given this, it is assumed that the National Association of Professional Football (ANFP) would already have in its portfolio some candidates to replace the “Tiger”. In this note we tell you who they are” they write.
On the other hand, the newspaper Commerce published an article entitled “What did Gareca do wrong and why did he go from being loved in Peru to being hated in Chile?” There they present their arguments: “More than 200 days have passed since Ricardo Gareca’s promising debut as technical director of the Chilean team. This 3-0 victory against Albania marked the start of the ‘Tiger’s cycle at the helm of La Roja, raising high expectations among supporters about the impact that the Argentine strategist could have on the team. However, what seemed to be the start of a renaissance for Chile fizzled out over time. Results became increasingly unfavorable, reaching their lowest point on Day 10 of the Qualifiers, when Chile lost 4–0 to Colombia in Barranquilla, leaving them in last place in America. of the South and with minimal chances of qualifying for the next World Cup. they suggest.
In the same newspaper, it is emphasized that in a month, the strategist will lead the country of Rimac. “Gareça against. Peru: this is why I would lead Chile in Lima”, they headline. There, as indicated in The sportsman establish the reasons: “Despite the poor results and the risk of being excluded from the World Cup again, In Chile they do not consider it appropriate to fire Ricardo Gareca. “The high price of a possible dismissal of ‘Tiger’ is one of the factors involved.”
Meanwhile, in Sporty they do it “chronology of the ‘Gareca era'” . There they emphasize how difficult it was to cross the Trans-Andean Pepper. “With a discouraged look and a very worried face, Ricardo Gareca retired from the Metropolitano de Barranquilla with a new defeat as coach of the ‘Roja’. And in the seven official matches he has managed against Chile, between the 2024 Copa América and the 2026 Qualifiers, the “Tiger” has drawn twice, lost five times and achieved no victory. With recent defeats to Brazil at home and to visiting Colombia, the Chilean team finds itself in last place in the qualifying tournament standings – with just five points from ten matches – and their chances of qualifying for the next World Cup, which will take place in the United States, Mexico and Canada, have been reduced,” they say.
