The present of Newell’s Old Boys is not very encouraging. After finishing seventh in their zone in the League Cup and only winning two of their five games in the Argentine League, Mauricio Larriera has been dismissed as coach of the Rosario team.
For this reason, the leadership of the Santa Fe institution is looking for a replacement for the rest of the second tournament of the current Argentine soccer campaign, with one of the main options being Venezuelan César Farías.
The strategist from Sucre is a free agent after having ended his relationship with América de Cali in the BetPlay League of Colombian soccer. According to different sources, he would welcome his arrival in Argentina.
A technician with extensive experience
If his signing for Leprosy is completed, Argentina would be the eighth country in which he works as a coach, since he has already coached in his native Venezuela, in Mexico, in India, in Bolivia, in Ecuador, in Paraguay and in Colombia .
He went through clubs such as Nueva Cádiz, Zulianos, Trujillanos, Mineros de Guayana, Deportivo Táchira, Deportivo Anzoátegui, Xolos de Tijuana, NorthEast United, Cerro Porteño, The Strongest, Aucas, Águilas Doradas de Rionegro and América de Cali.
Likewise, he was national coach of Venezuela and Bolivia. With both, he had outstanding performances such as the 2011 Copa América and the qualifiers for Brazil 2014 and Qatar 2022, but he did not obtain a World Cup berth.
At the record level, he has two Second Division titles in Venezuela with Nueva Cádiz and Zulianos, a Torneo Apertura in Bolivia with The Strongest and a Serie A in Ecuador with Aucas.
