Peru Football Federation Sacks Coach Jorge Fossati

The Peruvian Football Federation has announced the dismissal of head coach Jorge Fossati following a dismal run in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers, where Peru sits at the bottom of the standings with just seven points from 12 matches. Appointed in December 2023, Fossati managed to secure only one victory out of six games, leading the federation to mutually agree on his departure. The federation expressed gratitude for Fossati's efforts and wished him well in future endeavors. This decision comes as Peru continues to struggle in its quest for a World Cup berth, needing significant improvement to reach the qualifying spots. A replacement for Fossati has yet to be announced, as the qualifying matches are set to resume in March. Fossati previously managed teams in Uruguay and Qatar and had a successful club coaching career.
