The media reports that close to the leadership they would have made contact with Pékerman, a technician who worked in Chile in the 90s in command of the lower divisions of Colo Colo.
“The situation is like this: some close to the Chilean federation asked about Pékerman’s availability to take the post. It was nothing official from the authorities, but it was from people very close to the board,” the media said, in the middle of the difficult situation of the Colombian Rueda, who receives much criticism for the performance of the southern team.

EL TIEMPO was able to establish that Pékerman was the first candidate from Venezuela, when Dudamel left, and from Ecuador, when he ran out of DT. And that he was always the first candidate every time Chile changed technicians. However, while there is a current technician, from the Pékerman environment they will not listen to offers, and less if it is Reinaldo Rueda who is there, out of respect.
Pékerman prefers the work of national teams, it suits him more

In addition, who tells you that you cannot return to Colombia, where people also love him very much ”, they say about the coach’s environment to ‘La Cuarta’.
