Alianza Lima Ties Gorosito Renewal to Top-Three Finish After Latest Setback

The bar is meant to lock in a 2026 Libertadores place as a test of the project.

Overview

  • Journalist Kevin Pacheco of RPP reported a verbal pact in which Néstor Gorosito’s extension is approved only if Alianza Lima finishes inside the top three.
  • If the target is missed, club leadership will evaluate the full season before deciding on the coach’s future rather than moving to an automatic decision.
  • The men’s team has won just two of its last eight matches and fell 2-1 to Alianza Universidad, leaving it sixth in the Clausura with 18 points after 13 rounds.
  • A top-three finish would deliver Copa Libertadores 2026 qualification, a central sporting and financial objective for the club.
  • Next up, the men host Sport Boys on October 16, while the women, after a 2-1 loss to Ferroviária, must beat ADIFFEM and need Ferroviária to defeat Boca Juniors to keep their Libertadores hopes alive.
