University of Chile: Rafael Dudamel had no training as a technical director

It is already a fact, Rafael Dudamel arrived in Santiago on Tuesday to become the new coach of Universidad de Chile. The Venezuelan will be presented in the next few hours at the CDA and will take the reins of the team that Hernán Caputto left a few weeks ago.

Although he arrived with a suitcase loaded with illusions, in Venezuela they criticized his little training as a professional coach. Nelson carrero, coach and former Venezuelan national team between 1981 and 1985, referred to the poor preparation of strategists in his country.

“The Venezuelan soccer player has had a disadvantage that others have not had. The footballer has received knowledge from coaches who have not been trained and that is serious. If you as journalists want to prepare as coaches, you have nowhere to go because there is no place where the coach can prepare“, began saying in the program TLT.

There came the criticism of Dudamel: “You are going to teach what you think you know and we have that problem because a national coach course has not been done since 2008. Rafael Dudamel did not have a coaching title, so you work more because of what you lived as a footballer, online, because of the experience , but you have to prepare. The courses that were previously done were four months, while in other countries you have to study at least 3 years“.

Finally, Carrero stated that improving this aspect is one of his projects as a candidate for the presidency of the federation: “We have not given importance to the training of the coach and that is one of the things that motivated me to think that he could become president of the Venezuelan Football Federation“.
