Universitario: Everything that is known about the future of coach Álvaro Gutiérrez after losing the classic

Rudeness, silence and annoyance. The complete package of Alvaro Gutierrez closed the darkest afternoon University of Sports throughout the 21st century. The 4-1 that gave him Lima Alliance in the Monumental Stadium itself, he demanded that the Uruguayan coach at least blush his face at all the comments made by the fan on social networks. However, the Uruguayan used his time in front of the press to give a monologue between intolerance and arrogance.

What is the morning after a game like that feels a lot like the end of an era? Urgent, necessary and appropriate answers are sought.

The meeting

Fans on Sundays, but managers from Monday to Friday, in the administration of the ‘U’ decided not to talk about anything the night of the 4-1 against Alianza, the most humiliating result of all the games played in the Monumental, since 2002. They agreed a meeting for today, cold, with a time and place kept under lock and key, but with a single agenda that is resolved by this question: how can a team with a discreet game idea, players at a poor level, be carried forward? , and reinforcements that are substitutes?

The clause

Gutiérrez’s link with Universitario extends throughout 2022 and, although the forms have always been the best -there was a single 20-minute conversation about football where Jean Ferrari and the coach fixed his contract-, when the results do not walk, this must be evaluated. In that sense, the exit clause of the champion coach with Nacional de Uruguay in 2019 would not be of a very high cost for the “U”, if it were resolved in the appropriate terms for both parties.

The future

Long before becoming national champion in 1998, Oswaldo Piazza said something that went unnoticed, in a conference at Lolo: “If a coach loses a classic by a landslide or three games in a row, he has to leave.” That logic, the ultra-competitive one, which leaves no margin for error in emergency clubs like ‘U’, worked all that season, to the point that Piazza was champion. He did it with a group of young people, an institution that no longer paid for electricity or water and with just two reinforcements according to the economy. No scenario is the same, but this type of situation determines: it is not the same after a 4-1 at home against the classic rival, with 57 thousand paying people in the stands. The ‘U’ has to change almost everything: the only game plan they have -throw the ball to Valera-, better physical condition -yesterday, several cream players marked with their eyes- and transform the level of their reinforcements -not Barco not even the Villamarín play and Cayetano fell into a ditch. No wizard will.
