Nolberto Solano offered to be DT of Universidad Católica, according to TNT Sports

While Nolberto Solano thinks about the playoff that the Peruvian team will play in June, in Chile they indicate that Ricardo Gareca’s technical assistant sounds for the Catholic University. The ‘Crusaders’, who have been irregular since the season began, were left without a coach after the departure of Argentine Cristian Paulucci.

Specifically, TNT Sports Chile pointed out that the “Maestrito” was presented to José María Buljubasich, the sports manager of the southern entity. Of course, the name of the member of the Blanquirroja technical command appears among the 50 who manage in the leadership of the university students. From that broad list, four will be selected to start the interview process.

In any case, Solano already has experience as a main DT. ‘Ñol’ was in charge of leading the professional team of Universitario de Deportes in 2012. The following year, the ex-selected man passed through the ranks of José Gálvez. He also had a stint at the Toronto International in Canada. He then joined the Blanquirroja as an assistant to ‘Tiger’ Gareca. Along the way, he led the U-23 team at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima.

Solano and the preparation of Peru

This week, Nolberto commented on the plans for the playoffs. “This is a bit difficult, because due to the circumstances and the dates, we do not know if it will be the United Arab Emirates or Australia. We had to do a practice match, due to the need prior to this match. New Zealand is a rival that we already know, it will give us a good guideline to know how we got there, it will help us a lot for that reunion that is always necessary before a key date”, explained ‘Ñol’.

“We do not feel more or less than anyone. We are a team that has always respected and we should respect. We would have no reason to spare ourselves. People can reach a certain level or opinion, which is respected, but let’s not forget that you play against national teams and many things can happen in football”, said the ‘Tiger’ assistant.

In the same way, Solano lamented that the playoff is direct elimination: “Gives little room for error. If there is a bad game, with the second it can be improved. Programming is important, getting together a few days before, because that favors us. Having the group together for a long time, he has always responded. I hope that there is nothing strange in the game, that the boys do what they know”.
