Overview
- The club officially ended Néstor Gorosito’s tenure after the loss to Sporting Cristal left it as Perú 4 and outside direct Copa Libertadores group-stage qualification.
- Reports in Argentina and Peru place Omar De Felippe as the leading candidate, highlighting his 2024 Copa Argentina title and a 2-1 win over Flamengo at the Maracanã in April 2025.
- Ricardo Gareca is viewed as a preferred profile, though his entourage has not received a formal approach, according to journalist Mauricio Loret de Mola.
- As Perú 4, Alianza must navigate Libertadores Phase 1 and Liga 1 preparations on a compressed timeline, increasing urgency around the hire and preseason planning.
- Transfer plans are in flux: Darwin Machís says he has multiple offers, including reported Alianza interest, and will decide in the coming days, with recruitment expected to follow the coaching appointment and the activation of Gorosito’s exit clause.
