Guillermo Salas in Advanced Talks to Coach Santos de Nazca for 2026 Liga 2

The Ica club is courting the 2022 Alianza Lima champion to lead a promotion push in what would be his first stint managing in Peru’s second tier.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets, citing reporter Ernesto Macedo, say negotiations are advanced and in a decisive phase, with no official announcement yet.
  • Salas, 51, is evaluating final terms of the project as Santos de Nazca builds its squad for the 2026 campaign.
  • If finalized, this would be Salas’s first managerial assignment in Liga 2 after previous top-flight roles.
  • Santos de Nazca’s plan centers on assembling a competitive roster to contend for promotion to the Primera División.
  • Salas won the 2022 national title with Alianza Lima, left César Vallejo in 2024 after poor results, and spent 2025 without a club despite links to UTC and ADT.
