Overview
- Captain Aldo Corzo called Jorge Fossati the best coach he has seen at Universitario and likened his meticulous approach to Ricardo Gareca’s.
- Corzo said the squad wants Fossati to stay but acknowledged internal uncertainty about 2026 and said he has not asked the coach out of respect for team codes.
- Fossati recently said there are things to resolve with the club and noted he was originally hired alongside Jean Ferrari and Manuel Barreto, who have since departed.
- Responding to insinuations about doping behind the team’s physical output, Fossati rejected the claims as very serious and urged a firm institutional response, with the staff including fitness coach Franco Velazco referenced in the chatter.
- A local report says the new administration plans to meet with Fossati after the season to discuss 2026 planning and signals backing for his continuity.
