Jorge Fossati, the newly appointed coach of the Peruvian national team, is gearing up for his first press conference today. Fossati recently led Universitario to a championship victory before taking on the role with the national team.
The press conference is scheduled to take place at 3:30 p.m. and will be broadcast on the Peruvian Football Federation’s YouTube channel. Fans can also follow the updates on the La República Deportes website.
Fossati’s first test as coach will come in the form of two friendly matches against Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic later this month. There is speculation about which players Fossati will call up, with rumors suggesting he may consider players from Universitario.
One player who may or may not make the cut is Oliver Sonne, with Fossati expressing uncertainty about the inclusion of the Silkeborg footballer in the squad. Additionally, there is concern surrounding the fitness of veteran forward Paolo Guerrero, who recently suffered an ankle injury but is expected to be fit for selection.
The Peruvian team will face Nicaragua on March 22 and the Dominican Republic on March 26, with both matches being broadcast on Movistar Deportes. Fans are eagerly awaiting Fossati’s squad announcement and can tune in to the press conference to find out who will be representing the national team in the upcoming friendlies.
