In Costa Rica, they are very attentive to what may happen with the Argentine coach, Gustavo Alfaro, who left good impressions in the 2024 Copa América and aroused the interest of other teams on the continent, such as Paraguay, which is looking for a successor to Daniel Garnero.
“Paraguayan national team wants to steal Alfaro,” reads the strong headline that appeared on the Costa Rican portal, futbolcentroamerica.com, one of the media that echoed the situation of the 61-year-old strategist, who would also be in the sights of Ecuador, where he was until January 2023, until days after the elimination of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. He left the “Tri” due to disagreements with the board.
The Paraguayan Football Association (APF) is genuinely looking to recruit Gustavo Alfaro, especially because he fits the profile they are looking for: an experienced coach who has already played in the World Cup.
The APF must pay a significant release clause to retain the services of the Argentine coach, which would be around 600 thousand dollars. But in Costa Rica they assure that Paraguay is not the only team interested in having the 61-year-old coach, since Ecuador (which already had him in the previous process) is also supposedly looking for him.
A few days ago, in a chat with 780AM, the Argentine coach made it clear that he is busy and that his intention is to respect the contract he has with the Costa Rican National Team.
🚨Paraguay wants Gustavo Alfaro to be its coach.
*️⃣The Argentine has an exit clause from Costa Rica that the AFP is willing to execute.
