The coach spoke with Pablo Milad, president of the ANFP, to express his intention to remain in office. He will captain the team that will face Peru and Venezuela next November.
Ricardo Gareca remains in La Roja, according to information collected by The sportsman. After the coach himself questioned his continuity, following La Roja’s humiliating fall against Colombia, the strategist met Pablo Milad to define his future at the head of the Chilean bench.
The conversation took place this Thursday evening. It was by telephone that both parties heard their defenses. The Curican admitted his concern over the team’s poor performances, which include historic falls like the one that occurred against Bolivia, at the National Stadium. The transandean, for his part, recognized being in a process in which he is sure of being able to obtain the expected results.
This Thursday evening, Milad and Gareca had the conversation they were waiting for. Both agreed to continue a process which only knows defeats in official qualifying matches. El Tigre said he had enough strength to reverse the difficult moment of the team of all, which today finds itself very far from the qualification zone for the 2026 World Cup.
On his social networks, after the defeat against the coffee farmers, more coldly, the coach issued a warning about what his future would be at the head of the national team. “G.THANKS! “We are still strong,” he wrote in a message posted on Instagram. The text is accompanied by a photograph with the Chilean team diver.
From the ANFP, for their part, they assured at the time that strategists were always subject to evaluation: “We always meet to do a complete analysis. Logistics, everything. This is done cold. We will speak to Ricardo. Any decision taken must be cold,” said Pablo Milad. president of the Quilín entity.
Gareca, for the moment, will continue to work at the head of the national team. He is already working on the national team’s visit to Peru, in Lima, then at the reception of Venezuela, in Santiago. But beyond his desire, the coach assumes that he has lost the support of the people because of the heavy falls he has recorded. “There are 80 or 90 percent who want me to leave. The question of football is our responsibility, that of the technical staff. If there’s anything so far, from what I’ve seen, it’s that in all the previous games… remember in the previous game we got cheers. We gave an answer that made us think we could respond. It wasn’t like that. From there, I need a little time not to respond warmly to him,” he noted.
