Gareca getting closer to leading Ecuador: “We have been talking for a long time”

Ricardo Gareca, this time in conversation with TyC Sports, once again ratified the close interest of the Ecuadorian Football Federation in acquiring their services. Besides, also it could confirm that some Argentine clubs approached to speak with him.

“Argentina is my country, I would like to lead in Argentina, if the conditions are right. I had a conversation with Independiente as soon as I arrived, but I had just arrived, the idea was for the World Cup to end and then decide”, assured the ‘Tigre’.

Gareca knows that at the moment, with the success of Lionel Scaloni in the Argentine team, it is very difficult to put on the uniform of his country. However, with ‘La Tri’ he has been in negotiations for a long time.

“I am realistic, it is very difficult, everything has a time, an age, a moment… The National Team, at least in my country, is very difficult. We are talking about Ecuador, we have been there for a long time, but there is freedom to decide. There is a positive intention”.

Lastly, he did not hesitate to mention the club he loves: Boca Juniors. However, the ‘Xeneize’ box only contacted him to ask him about Zambrano and Cueva, when he was still DT of the ‘blanquirroja’

Any technician dreams of directing in Boca. They are institutions that are part of a technical director’s career, but sometimes they have to give confidences and sometimes they don’t happen, ”he said.
