Despite the rumors, Suárez, in dialogue with Los Dueños del Fútbol on RCN Radio’s Antena 2, clarified the situation and ruled out that he had been contacted to be the coach of the ‘purslane’ team.
“The National thing is more a rumor, it is because I do not have a job and a coach has just left; if there is a coach, his name will be given as a possibility, but it is a rumor,” he said.
