The Colombian team experienced one of its biggest failures in recent years. The powerful coffee team was left out of the World Cup in Qatar 2022. This is an evil that cannot happen again. In this sense, the Colombian Football Federation (FCF), would look for Gerardo Martino to lead its new process , but this idea does not please El Tri, currently directed by “El Tata”.
After it was confirmed that Colombia would not go to the World Cup, it was more than clear that the cycle of Reinaldo Rueda would come to an end . In this sense, the South American federation would seek in Argentina to bring back old memories of José Pékerman, although this time they would have opted for “Tata”.
