According to information provided by Futuro Fútbol Club, Ricardo Gareca has been suspended for tomorrow’s match between Chile and Canada valid for the 2024 Copa América held in the United States.
Conmebol announced this sanction on Friday, June 28, and it will be for only one match.
Why was Ricardo Gareca suspended for Chile vs Canada?
It all started with the governing body of South American football that issued a warning to the national staff after the team’s delay in returning to the field after halftime of the game against Peru.
This situation was repeated in the game against Argentina. According to calculations made by Channel 13, the players took 53 seconds to return to the MetLife Stadium field.
The issue is that no one had foreseen that this situation is also monitored by a stopwatch by Conmebol. Issue that makes Chile a repeat offender. This implies that the national coach, Ricardo Gareca, was suspended due to the delay, an issue that will lead his assistant, Sergio Santín, to direct the team in Orlando. In addition, the ANFP will lose 15 thousand dollars of the prizes in this situation.
It should be noted, however, that the situation also occurred in Argentina’s two games. Situation that also implies a punishment for his coach, Lionel Scaloni, who will not be able to be on the field for the duel against Peru. All for the violation of articles 104 and 145 of the Copa América regulations as published by ADN.cl.
