Fernando Gago will be the new DT of the University of Chile

After several months without directing after his time at Necaxa, Fernando Gago reached an agreement to become the new coach of the University of Chile. The former Racing and Boca coach will travel to Santiago in the next few hours to sign his contract and officially take over the team

.

“Pintita” will come to the Chilean team to replace Francisco Meneghini, who was disbanded after a short cycle and with results below expectations. In principle, the Argentine coach will have a relationship until December 2027, as part of a project that seeks to restore prominence to one of the most important clubs

in Chilean football.

The present of the trans-Andean group is not ideal. The U is in eighth position in the local tournament with just 10 points in 7 games, the product of 2 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss in seven dates. In addition, she suffered a blow early in the season when she was eliminated from the South American Cup after falling 1-2 to Palestino in the

national phase.

With no international competitions ahead, the main objective will be to recompose domestic performance and build a

solid football identity.

In this way, the 39-year-old coach, who has already spent time with renowned clubs in Argentina and Mexico, will face a new challenge in his career with the mission of raising the level of the team and repositioning the University of Chile in the forefront of local football.

Gago's numbers at Necaxa In

his last cycle as coach, Pintita spent just four months in the Mexican team, as he was kicked out for poor performance. In that short period, he managed 20 games between Liga MX and Leagues Cup, with a terrible record of 5 wins, 5 draws

and 10 losses.
