U. Catholic | Gustavo Poyet is José María Buljubasich’s candidate to reach the UC bench

Catholic University continues to work on the search for a new technical director to face a difficult 2021 season: Copa Libertadores group stage, reaching the four-time national championship, the Chile Cup and the Chilean Super Cup.

Faced with this panorama, during the last days the candidate who has gained the most strength in the local environment is Juan Pablo Vojvoda, former coach of Unión La Calera. However, his lack of record does not convince the Crusade leadership.

In that sense, as reported Enzo Olivera, RedGol correspondent in Europe, stated that José María Buljubasich would have a cover that generated consensus in the board of directors: the Uruguayan Gustavo Poyet, who has experience in European and Asian clubs, but has not managed since August 17, 2018.

“In London, close to Gustavo Poyet, they tell me now that everything is going very fast and that the DT is in direct contact with Cruzados. They confirm that in the next few hours, at the latest tomorrow, the arrival of the Uruguayan DT could be defined or not“, the journalist published in his twitter account.

The charrúa has steps training in Brighton and Sunderland (England), AEK Athens (Greece), Real Betis (Spain), Shanghai Shenhua (China) and Girondins of Bordeaux (France), adding a total of 358 directed matches: 153 wins, 97 draws and 108 defeats, with a performance of 52.5 percent.

Within his record as a coach he has the League One title (Third Division of England), while as a footballer he adds with Chelsea an England Cup, a Community Shield, a European Super Cup, while with the Real Zaragoza it has a Copa del Rey and a Recopa de Europa. He also won the Copa América (1995) with the Uruguay team.

At the moment, the name of the Uruguayan generated consensus within the Catholic University, who during the next few days will have to define who will be the replacement for Ariel Holan.
