Although it had been announced since the afternoon of December 31, when it began to be said that there is already an agreement between Reinaldo Rueda and the governing organizations of football in both Colombia and Chile, everything seems to indicate that the negotiations between coach and the Colombian Football Federation (FCF) have not come to an end.

It was Roda himself who came out to deny the information published by numerous national media. In a dialogue with the Antiochian newspaper El Colombiano, the coach said he received the news of his alleged involvement with the Colombian team with surprise, as there are still issues to be agreed within the hiring process.
“A lot of friends have called me to congratulate me, but I must say that it is not true that I am the coach of the Colombian national team,” he told the Colombian.
Already congregate: “The Colombian Federation has not yet confirmed anything and I do not know why some journalists lend themselves to say that I am already the coach,” closed the caleño. It only remains to wait for the formalization to know the future of the strategist and whether or not the Red will have a new leader in the long run in Qatar 2022.
Despite the controversy surrounding the arrival of Roda, the FCF has decided to remain silent. In fact, Ramon Jesurum, president of this organization, recently noted that he is still recovering from the covid-19 condition that was diagnosed two weeks ago, so for now there will be no statement official. It is inferred that the same situation has also delayed negotiations between the Federation and the possible new coffee coach.
