The news revolutionized Tuesday morning. José Pekerman has everything arranged to become the new coach of the Venezuelan national team and would take Fernando Batista to take charge of the youth team.
La Vinotinto points to a long-term project, in which the objective is to qualify for the 2026 World Cup and they thought of the Argentine as the ideal person to lead it. How does this affect the Argentine team? With the vacancy of Batista, it would be necessary to look for a new coach for the Sub 20 and Javier Mascherano would be the chosen one.
The little boss is working as head of the Department of Methodology and Development of the AFA (He had little activity due to the pandemic) and now everything indicates that he will have his first experience as a coach.
Mascherano would have plenty of time to work and prepare on this project of his career. The first official competition of this category is in 2023, when the South American will be played in Colombia.
The historic midfielder will join other former players who already work in the Albiceleste. Lionel Scaloni, Roberto Ayala, Walter Samuel, Pablo Aimar and Diego Placente are already there. How do you think the Jefecito will do in this experience?
