Two days after the classic against Universitario de Deportes, Lima Alliance officially announced the departure of Guillermo Salas. The national strategist was going through his worst moment since he took the reins of the blue and white team, registering three games without knowing victory and scoring goals in favor. For this reason, the intimate board chose to do without his services and confirmed that Nixon Perea, DT of the reserve, will assume the position on an interim basis.
“As of today, Monday, July 24, 2023, Professor Guillermo Salas and his technical command will no longer lead the institution’s first team.”, reads the official letter issued by the blue and white entity on its official social networks.
It is necessary to mention that this decision comes after the poor results of the blue and white team, which only added two points in the last three dates of the 2023 Closing Tournament. For this reason, the Victorian team’s board of directors considered that the harmony between players and technical command had worn out, which is why the objectives were not being met.
Despite this, Lima Alliance was grateful to Guillermo Salas for everything he achieved with the club. “We express our most sincere gratitude to ‘Chicho’, a true man of the house who, throughout his career as a footballer and coach at the club, knew how to bring us great happiness.”, they added.
Nixon Perea will take office
In the final part of the statement, Lima Alliance confirmed that Nixon Perea he will assume the position he left Guillermo Salas, while looking for the new coach. As you remember, the Colombian strategist came to the club to direct the reserve. Previously, he worked in the minor divisions of Atlético Nacional, where he stayed between 2012 and 2021.
It should be noted that the results of the coffee DT with the intimate ones have not been good, since they have only added three wins and four losses, ranking 14th in the table with only 9 points. Of course, a week ago, he achieved an important 2-1 victory over academic in the classic reserves.
