The background is the worst: the Colombian National Team has gone seven games without winning, in fact without scoring a single goal; He has given life to all his rivals in the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers and, barring a miracle, he will not be at the next World Cup.
All the lights point to coach Reinaldo Rueda, whom some point to as responsible for favoring defensive positions even when risks had to be taken for vital points, while others refer to the players and their lack of attitude as the main cause of the team’s crisis.
The Colombian Football Federation (FCF) is no stranger to the discussion, and while many point to it as being responsible for bad decisions, it will take action on the matter. At the request of Álvaro González, one of the members of the Executive Committee, this week there will be an extraordinary meeting to decide the future of the coach.
It is said that it could be a protocol meeting, taking into account that President Ramón Jesurún, and Fernando Jaramillo, president of Dimayor, would be in the position of not making any more changes to avoid a new tsunami in public opinion that shakes the waters at less than a month before the next elections in the entity. But the pressure from Difútbol, led by González, would at least make the situation officially discussed.
The decisions will then be known in a matter of days and FUTBOLRED wants to know the position of its readers on the subject. Vote in our poll:
Should the FCF ratify Reinaldo Rueda or look for a replacement?
Ratify it, in two dates nothing changes anymore
Fire him, those last few points can reach
Give him these two dates but, if he doesn’t qualify, let him go
If the majority prevails, it could be that Rueda will continue on the bench for the duels against Bolivia and Venezuela. That opens another panorama:
If the decision is to support it, who should pay if Colombia does not go to Qatar 2022?
The players: those who did not perform should not return to the National Team
The World Cup players who have already completed their cycle and now divide
Managers, who have been wrong time and time again
None of the above
Finally, if there is no backup and there are only six points left at stake, what would be the best path?
If Rueda does not continue, who should replace him?
