Colombia fiercely denies Claudio Borghi’s agent

After the departure of Carlos Queiroz, Colombia is looking for a new coach and the favorite has always been Reinaldo Rueda. Moreover, it is expected that in the first days of 2021 the still DT of Chile will be ratified in office.

However, there are other alternatives and one, at least until now, was Claudio Borghi. Bichi himself acknowledged in Todos Somos Técnicos, from CDF, that an agent he gave power to negotiate with a Saudi Arabian team “offered” it to other sides and that he himself told him that there was an option in the coffee-growing country.

This representative is Cristian Argiz, who has proclaimed to the four winds about the option of the world champion in Colombia and even dared to say that a meeting was coming with the former coach of Colo Colo present.

“I have been talking with Iván Novella (Director of Colombian National Teams), the right arm of President Ramón Jerusún, who as I understand is still convalescing from coronavirus. As Novella told me, next week Jesurún will be in a position to hold a telematic meeting with Borghi and me. In Colombia it is known that the local candidate is Reinaldo Rueda, the coach of the Chilean team. Among the foreigners is the Bichi, that’s how it is ”, Argiz sentenced La Cuarta.

However, from the Colombian Football Federation (FCF) They went out with everything on Twitter and not only denied the representative, but also assured that Claudio Borghi is not even an option.

“The Executive Committee of the FCF is allowed to inform that the coach Claudio Borghi, at this moment is not one of the possible candidates to lead our national team. Likewise, it is clarified that there is no scheduled meeting with the coach or his representative. Our Executive Committee will continue to work hard, in the replacement of Professor Carlos Queiroz ”, they shot through said platform.

Reinaldo Rueda is still the favorite and, if everything runs its course, it will have to be announced in the next days or weeks back to its native country, which will force Chile to look for its replacement already with Francis Cagigao to the head.
