The Colombian specialist took the team under his wing after her unsuccessful performance at the World Cup qualifiers - 2018, which this year is held in Russia. The leadership of the Chilean team decided to establish long-term cooperation with the mentors by signing a contract until 2022. If the team breaks into the main grid of Mundialya - 2022, which will be held in Qatar, then Rueda will continue to coach Chilean football players.

Recall that the Chile team said goodbye to Antonio Pizzi, who was blamed for the defeat at the qualification at the World Cup - 2018.

Rueda has already brought Honduras to the 2010 World Cup, he also has extensive experience of coaching the national teams of Ecuador and Colombia.

As reported in "URA-Inform," the former Chile coach of the national team Juan Antonio Pizzi led the national team of Saudi Arabia.
