Chile side looking very sad these days.
Maybe their Golden Generation played on too long?? Most them kept getting picked into their late 30s.
Gareca is a lauded coach, who did a great job over two WC cycles with a no stars Peruvian side. Qualified for Russia and so nearly for Qatar when Sth America only had 4.5 spots.
Gareca was appointed in Jan 2024, and even though Chile finished last in CONMEBOL WC qualifying, he kept his job. Rebuild phase starts now, and I'm sure like all Sth American countries they will have some exciting young local talent coming through. Have won their last 3 matches (friendlies) Peru x2, and Russia in Russia.
