The Uruguayan coach Gustavo Poyet became one of the Chilean soccer options to take over at La Roja due to the possibility of Reinaldo Rueda leaving the bench vacant to emigrate to the Colombia team.
Given this, the former Chelsea player and former coach of Sunderland and Real Betis, among others, commented that he is interested in directing again and that the Chilean team is a good option.
“I know they brought my name closer. Recently there was the possibility of taking an important Chilean team, but finally it did not prosper. I have been in contact with people linked to different teams in the world. With Morocco I was very close at the time, “said Poyet in an interview with The Mercury.
“I am interested and motivated. But first we will have to see what happens with the coach (Rueda), for whom I have great respect. For a technician it is essential to know what material they have and Chile has where to lay hands. I have seen a lot of Chilean football in the last time, due to that possibility that I was commenting on, to which one adds knowing the journey of its figures who act abroad, “he added in relation to the Red.
Poyet, who has not managed since 2018 when he was at Girondis Bordeaux, assured that he has seen the Red in his last presentations: “With Uruguay he was for anyone. What happened against Colombia was painful, because the tie was again on the end. The hardest thing should have been the defeat against Venezuela, but times have changed. Uruguay lost in other qualifiers against Venezuela, “he said.
Asked about Chile’s chances of going to a World Cup, whoever was selected from the Uruguayan commented that “That is why the option is interesting, because it has a lot of potential to qualify. His base won two Copa América, with high-ranking players, such as Vidal, Sánchez, Aránguiz, Bravo, Vargas or Isla, to name a few. And he must qualify for the World Cup anyway, there is a very good base. “
“There is a replacement and you have to know how to carry it. At the rear, for example, there are young people who have been appearing and they have to be directed. A balance must be found between the players of the golden generation and those who must take over, “he added.
