Ferrari Sets December Deadline for Peru Coach Search, Rules Out Ricardo Gareca

The FPF is prioritizing youth integration under interim coach Manuel Barreto during October friendlies.

Overview

  • Jean Ferrari said Ricardo Gareca is not under consideration, citing a different profile tied to youth development and a defined playing identity.
  • Ferrari set a December target to appoint the new manager, with the chosen staff expected to start work in January.
  • Interim boss Manuel Barreto will lead the Oct. 10 friendly against Chile as he lowers the team’s average age and broadens the player pool.
  • Addressing Renato Tapia’s critical post, Ferrari emphasized resolving the issue through internal dialogue; Tapia was omitted for Chile but has not been excluded from future squads.
  • Talent recruitment continues: Bayern Munich prospect Felipe Chávez joined the camp, Nürnberg captain Fabio Gruber awaits nationality paperwork, and Piero Quispe’s move to Australia complicates his short-notice availability.
