Gustavo Alfaro leads the national team of Ecuador - AS reports.
The contract with the 58-year-old coach, who worked with Boca Juniors in the 2019/20 season, was signed before the end of the 2022 World Cup, but whether he completes it to the end will largely depend on how well his team performs at Copa America-2021..
Alfaro, who had previously worked only with Argentine clubs, replaced Jordi Cruyff as head coach of the Ecuadorian national team.
Interestingly, the son of the legendary Johan Cruyff and the former player of Donetsk Metallurg was formally listed as the coach of the Ecuadorian national team since January 2020, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he did not spend a single lesson with the team, and on August 14 went to Chinese Shenzhen.
