Universitario Says Fossati Stays for 2026 as Mexican Interest Is Reported

Club leaders say no offers have arrived and dismiss talk of a rift as the coach prepares for a meeting that could set new terms for his staff.

Overview

  • Reports from Mexico and regional journalists link Necaxa and Pumas to Jorge Fossati for 2026, but those approaches have not been confirmed.
  • Administrator Franco Velazco rejected claims of a bad relationship with the coach and said the intention is for him to continue.
  • Sporting director Álvaro Barco stated the club has received no formal proposals for Fossati and is planning 2026, including a push to retain Jairo Vélez.
  • Fossati remains under contract through 2026 with an exit clause and is seeking improved conditions for his staff in upcoming talks.
  • RPP reports Universitario would not block a move if a foreign offer is accepted or the clause is paid, even as the club targets a tetracampeonato and the Copa Libertadores.
