Overview
- Jean Ferrari, the FPF’s director of football, said the generational overhaul should have begun during Ricardo Gareca’s tenure and questioned his frequent media appearances.
- Gareca replied on Doble Punta that he is not interested in the quarrel, is considering no longer speaking about the team, and noted he is Peru’s most-capped coach with nearly 100 matches.
- The exchange followed Gareca’s recent view that rushing a generational shift overlooks the value of players accumulating about 80 national-team appearances.
- Ferrari’s post drew split reactions on social media, with some blaming coaching choices and others pointing to the FPF’s structural responsibilities for youth development.
- Peru remains in transition with Manuel Barreto serving as interim coach, while commentator Diego Rebagliati urged the federation to take the necessary time to appoint the next manager.
