Peru FPF Chief Lozano Rebuts Gareca Over Exit, Denies Pay-Cut Offer

Lozano says talks occurred in Buenos Aires at the coach’s request and insists he has private evidence supporting the federation’s account.

Overview

  • Agustín Lozano asserted he did everything possible to keep Ricardo Gareca and claimed the former coach “didn’t tell the whole truth.”
  • He categorically denied that the federation proposed any salary reduction to Gareca during renewal talks.
  • Lozano said Gareca asked for negotiations to be held in Buenos Aires and then sent his lawyer and his son to represent him at the meeting.
  • He maintained he holds messages, documents and audio that back his version but will not publish them for ethical reasons.
  • Gareca has previously blamed the negotiation process and media leaks for ending talks, and Lozano now says sporting decisions rest with new FPF sporting director Jean Ferrari.
