In this sense, the Rimense institution announced that Juan José Luque will not continue as general sports director by 2023.

However, after the good start, the next two courses left more doubts than certainties, despite the fact that the Bajo Pontino club was runner-up in 2021 and reached the semifinals in 2022. In the same way, the results in the Copa Libertadores did not They were the best, a situation that has also been vital for the board to begin a massive restructuring.

“Sporting Cristal informs the celestial family and public opinion that we have reached an agreement with Mr. Juan José Luque to end his employment relationship with our institution.
