If he signs with César Farías, Botafogo will hire an intense coach, sometimes too much, on and off the field. This is what the curriculum and the stories that surround the 47-year-old Venezuelan point out, that the ge went to look for with those who closely followed the technician’s last steps.
On the field and on the ball, Farías describes himself as a commander who demands a lot of dedication and tactical application. It is the desire of the coach to put on the field an aggressive team that begins with a solid defense and then advances against the opposing team. He reportedly values teamwork and therefore often earns the respect of the players.
The current campaign, in the Bolivian national team, is not at the peak of the coach’s curriculum. The biggest highlight came, first, in Venezuela, with the presence in the semifinals of the Copa América 2011, when he was elected the eighth best coach in the world according to the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS). In the 2014 World Cup Qualifiers he achieved the best campaign in the country’s history, a sixth place.

Working in his native country gave him opportunities abroad, when the coach traveled through Mexico, Paraguay and India until landing in Bolivia. There, he had a successful stint at The Strongest. He achieved a national title and consecutive classifications for the Copa Libertadores. To the point of awakening the interest of the National Team, which took over in 2018.
However, in addition to titles and some solid works, Farías also has provocations and other situations in his history that have caused him disapproval. The most controversial, without a doubt, is the corruption complaint made in Fifpro, the international federation of footballers.
The coach, according to the complaint, would have forced the athletes to close with the 360 Invictus Agency to be summoned by the Bolivian team. The controversy was revealed by Diário Olé, from Argentina. Even with a former athlete, Milton Melgar, as a witness. But the charge is denied by the coach.
There is more to the curriculum than this possible deviation. Farías is known to be hot blooded. Which leads to acid statements in interviews or, in the worst case, inconsiderate or aggressive actions. Like when he attacked an opposing coach at the time of The Strongest and put two years on the hook of the Bolivian Sports Court.
At the same club, on another occasion, he even swelled with a fan who annoyed the players at an airport. At the time of Venezuela, in the 2011 Copa América, he insulted the now president of Conmebol, Alejandro Domínguez, after a heated match.

Gery Zurita, of the Bolivian Jornal El Duty
“Due to the characteristics of the Bolivian players, he has been playing in the 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 system. I don’t know if he will use the same system in Brazil because he will have different players. But he likes a team that plays well and he has aggressiveness, a lot of dynamics, you have to recover the ball quickly.
Does not like many decorations, “star” players. He wants everyone to run, everyone to sacrifice. Is a worker. All the players I spoke to speak highly of work. There is nothing to discuss. He is always thinking about the football, the team, the players.
As for the Fifpro complaint, it seems very serious. But the truth is that we haven’t had much information about it yet. Little is said by FIFA and also by the coach and the Bolivian federation. In a recent press conference, he affirmed that he did nothing wrong, that he was calm and would prove it in a judicial process ”.
Manuel Alejandro Ramírez, from the Venezuelan Jornal El Diario
“He is a good coach, very methodical. He has a strong character. He likes discipline, that everything is in order with players and coaches. During training, he focuses a lot on the physical and technical aspects. The players respect him.
In general, it positions the games on the defensive, but with a direct and effective game. Their teams retreat in an orderly manner and they know how to go on the counterattack. Despite giving up possession of the ball to his rival, he is constantly pressing. The 4-4-2 system is the one I use the most.
Perhaps the negative aspect of Farías is that he is a technician who has been involved in controversy on several occasions. At press conferences, he usually leaves at least one comment that generates controversy. I don’t know if this is a product of the character ”.
