A few days before the Copa América 2024 begins, Chilean media have reported on a serious problem that would be happening inside the National Professional Football Association (ANFP) of Chile and that would put at risk the continuity of coach Ricardo Gareca in command of the ‘Roja’. What is it about?
Chilean journalist Juan Cristóbal Guarello reported that there are economic problems in the Chilean federation that is under the command of Pablo Milad. According to the communicator, this situation would have caused the departure of some workers, which could also cause inconveniences for ‘Tigre’ Gareca and his technical command. The reason? It would be difficult to pay the Argentine coach for his services in charge of the ‘Roja’.
Why could Ricardo Gareca stop being coach of the Chilean team?
“There are important economic problems… not important, catastrophic. Milad makes bicycles to reach the end of his term and grab something in Conmebol (…) Things are so complicated that it is difficult to even pay Gareca. It costs 2.8 million dollars a year and it is complicated. Milad is more alone than Allende in La Moneda. The clubs do not support him,” declared Juan Cristóbal Guarello in his program ‘La Hora del King Kong’.
Ricardo Gareca accused of preference with some Chilean players, according to a journalist from that country
This controversy about Ricardo Gareca began after not agree to the player Felipe Loyola competing with Huachipato on the last date of the Copa Libertadores. Faced with this situation, Johnny Herrera, former Chilean goalkeeper, ‘shot’ at ‘Tigre’.
According to the former World Cup player with Chile, Gareca has favoritism with some players, since Alexis Sánchez was later allowed to join La Roja.
“There are players who have privileges and others who don’t. Why don’t Alexis Sánchez, who is on vacation and arrives on Thursday, and Felipe Loyola, who plays on Tuesday, leave him in Huachipato?“Herrera questioned in the recent edition of the program ‘We are all technicians’ on TNT Sports.
