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.
