Jose Pekerman ended his tenure as coach of the Venezuelan national team on Tuesday over a series of alleged breaches – committed by the country’s football association – against promises the coaching staff deemed essential when they were appointed.
An official statement is expected soon by the Venezuelan Federation (FVF).
The highly experienced Argentine Pekerman had ambitions to carry out a long-term project to make the national team a greater threat on the international stage, but talks in recent weeks have created tensions and led to the two parties have severed their ties.
One of the requests from Pekerman and his coaching team was to launch a youth league with a view to developing the game at a local level and laying the foundations for the future, but this project failed to take off.
In addition, it is clear that the FVF has failed to deliver on its promises regarding improvements to the national team’s facilities, which were deemed essential to enable Pekerman, 73, to do his job.
