José Néstor Pékerman is the coach chosen by Venezuela to take over the selection from January 2022, once Leonardo Gonzalez leave his position as interim after the game against Peru next Tuesday. This has been confirmed by the journalist Francisco Blavia.
The Argentine coach, a great connoisseur of national team football, has already directed the albiceleste (2004-2006) already Colombia (2012-2018), in his most successful stage on the benches. Now comes a very complicated challenge, that of making a country in permanent crisis evolve, with talent that is not being used despite the great generation of players that it has at its disposal.
At 72 years old Pékerman must prepare the Red wine for the next qualifying phase for the 2026 World Cup and participation in the next Cup America, scheduled in 2024.
Venezuela at the moment it is bottom in the Playoffs with just seven points after 13 disputed dates.
