Sporting Cristal Announces Guillermo Farré as New Head Coach

Sporting Cristal begins a new period. This Wednesday, June 12, it was announced from Argentina that Guillermo Farré will be the new first team coach. The 43-year-old helmsman, who has directed Belgrano de Córdoba for the last four years – two in the Second Division and two in the First -, will arrive in Peru after having achieved promotion in 2022 and qualifying the ‘Pirata’ for the Cup South American last year. Although the official signature with the Rimense board is still missing, it is expected that the aforementioned coach will be contractually linked until December 2025. In addition, his technical team would already be defined.

As Depor learned, Mauro Conocchiari, a 43-year-old Argentine, will be Sporting Cristal’s first technical assistant, while his compatriot Franco Peppino (41) will occupy the position of second collaborator. Both have previously worked in Belgrano. In addition, Rodrigo Figueroa, with experience in clubs in high-altitude cities, and Ramiro Ramírez, who will assist the physical trainer, complete the list.

Farré would arrive in Lima this Friday the 15th, marking his first professional commitment outside his native country. Until now, his only experience as a strategist was with the ‘Pirata’, in addition to having been a technical assistant at Estudiantes de la Plata in 2021. Among his most notable achievements is the Second Division championship in 2022, where he forged a squad characterized by his physical solidity, high pressure on the field, tactical discipline and a firm priority on keeping his goal clean.

Farré also had offers from Emelec of Ecuador and Newell’s; The latter sought his service after the departure of the Uruguayan Mauricio Larriera. At the same time, it should be mentioned that the new coach of Cristal was also a professional footballer and was in clubs such as Central Córdoba, Sarmiento de Junín and Belgrano, and hung up his boots in 2019.

When does the 2024 Clausura Tournament start?

League 1 2024 has been stopped for approximately a month and a half due to the participation of the Peruvian National Team in the Copa América, which will be played in the United States. In that sense, the local championship will suffer a stoppage as some clubs will have players called up by the bicolor coach, Jorge Fossati, to complete the list of 26 elements.

Thus, the Clausura Tournament will begin in the second week of July. At the moment, the Professional Football League has not announced the exact date on which the first day of the second competition of the season will begin. Of course, it must be considered that the match schedule will be the same as in the Apertura, with the difference that the teams that were local will now be visitors, and vice versa.
