Overview
- Universitario maintains Fossati is contracted through December 2026 and intends to uphold that deal unless he engages to reset terms.
- Journalist Gustavo Peralta reports the board is tired of delays and plans to issue a communication today, with the club expecting the coach to report on January 2 at Campomar.
- The contract includes a mutual three‑month indemnity, payable by the club if it dismisses him or by Fossati if he resigns.
- Fossati’s camp, through agent Pablo Betancourt, has sought not only improved pay but broader authority over logistics and sporting operations, a sticking point for the club.
- The stalemate is slowing 2026 recruitment and squeezing timelines for sporting director Álvaro Barco, with preseason reported to start on January 5.
