Agustín Lozano denies Ricardo Gareca LIVE for his lawyer’s version: “I am the one who welcomed him”

Agustin Lozano, president of the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF), talked with Soccer in America last Sunday and, tired of the criticism, gave his version of what happened in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with the negotiation of Ricardo Gareca, current former coach of the peruvian national team who was fired in the previous week for, according to the environment, mistreatment of the FPF.

“You know that some communicators can say things, but it wasn’t even true because everything that was said was never discussed. The people who were in charge never disclosed the proposal,” he began.

Then, the boss of Videna clarified that the lawyer Mario Cupelli said it, who indicated that he and Ricardo Gareca’s son, Milton, always talk with presidents and not with managers or envoys. Moreover, it transpired that Lozano did not face him to the lawyer and, according to the FPF, this would not be true.

“No, because when we arrived at the hotel the one who received the lawyer was me. I am the one who welcomed you, I was the one who introduced all the members that made up the Federation commission. And Dr. Cupelli never asked me, and if he had asked me, I wouldn’t be able to participate. Presidents must honor their position,” he revealed.

In addition, Agustín Lozano ruled out any type of conversation with other coaches for the replacement of Ricardo Gareca. One of the names that made the most noise was that of Marcelo Bielsa, who earns about 10 million dollars.

“I haven’t talked to any technician because I haven’t had the faculty… I can’t deny you that countless people called me proposing technicians,” he said.

On the subject of respect and mistreatment with Gareca, Lozano was emphatic. “When you are at a negotiating table, forms are not discussed, contractual conditions are discussed. It is unnecessary to specify it, but I must do it, ”he declared.

Finally, Agustín Lozano did not want to show Ricardo Gareca’s contract which, according to Cupelli, had been violated. “Naturally after the reports received, I have the reasons that I cannot reveal; As president, I receive the report and I know what it was about, what they talked about, I know what they reached an agreement on and what points they did not”, he sentenced.
