Thus are the negotiations with the Vallecaucano coach, who will be the successor to Carlos Queiroz in the combined tricolor.
On Thursday afternoon, Reinaldo Rueda landed in Bogotá to close his contract so that he could become the new coach of the Colombian national team. Of course, he took a direct flight to Cali because he had to change plans at the last minute.
The idea was to close the face-to-face negotiation with Ramón Jesurún, president of the FCF, but the manager tested positive for coronavirus and will now do so virtually. The Vallecaucano dreams of a long-term project with a contract until 2026.
