In football, results rule and many times the processes are not respected due to the need for victories. This is precisely what is happening in the Paraguay National Team, since after the first double date of the 2026 Qualifiers, Guillermo Barros Schelotto would have his hours numbered on the bench, according to the ‘Guarani’ media. Likewise, in the last few hours the name of Ricardo Gareca emerged as one of the candidates to occupy the place that ‘Twin’ will leave.
