Gareca is the “number one” option, Chilean journalist Pablo Flamm later said during the DirecTV Sports broadcast.

The former Bicolor coach recently spoke about the possibility of leading Chile. “We have something set up for a selection. I already have a work team for that. So, that makes me wait and makes me think that maybe I’m waiting for something about that. Chile is a very important team. I would have to analyze and contemplate,” he indicated in dialogue with the program ‘Sin Cassette’.

“It is a rival (of Peru) and I know what people think and how Peruvians live. But I have always been a professional in that aspect. Our feeling towards Peru will never change anything,” he added.
