After eight months of absence, Jorge Luis Pinto would direct again. The Colombian strategist left the UAE National Team in November 2020 and now a new opportunity would come to him.
For several days now, the name of the one born in San Gil has sounded in Guatemala, a country that has just been eliminated in the first phase of the Concacaf Qualifiers and therefore already plans its new process thinking about the 2026 World Cup.
According to José del Valle, a journalist from ESPN, Pinto would be the main candidate, after the departure of Amarini Villatoro. His experience in Costa Rica, Honduras and Colombia is proof of his great capacity.
“Jorge Luis Pinto, the Colombian coach is the chosen one. If everything goes well and certain details are finalized, Mr. Jorge Luis Pinto will be the coach of the Guatemalan National Team. He is going to sign a contract for five years, from now until 2026 ”, indicated del Valle in the program ‘Jorge Ramos & Su Banda’.
He also thought that “of the five candidates” that are in the portfolio, the Colombian is undoubtedly the best option for “results and legacy.”
Well, this Sunday the journalist of Blu Radio Sebastián Vargas assured that the conversations with the coach would be on track and this week “the relationship should be closed”.
“In the United States, the link between @JorgeLPintoA and the Guatemalan National Team should be closed in the coming days,” he said on his Twitter account.
It is worth remembering that Guatemala has just been eliminated from the 2021 Gold Cup in the group stage and while its confederation defines the classification to Qatar, the ‘Bicolor’ will only face friendly matches (on September 8 they will face Nicaragua).
