Overview
- After a four‑month search, the FPF confirmed Brazilian coach Mano Menezes to launch a long‑term renewal that blends youth with experience and keeps selection open to all profiles.
- Menezes underscored discipline as a non‑negotiable team rule, saying he will enforce clear standards to protect the national team’s image and performance.
- The FPF formalized the staff structure by naming Thiago Kosloski, Menezes’s assistant, as Peru’s U‑20 head coach, extending a Brazilian-led framework into youth development.
- FPF executive Jean Ferrari said Roberto ‘Chorri’ Palacios is not being considered for an assistant role and noted the preference for a Peruvian assistant with strong coaching projection.
- Ferrari said Menezes will speak directly with players involved in recent discipline cases, and local reports indicate an initial meeting is planned with Renato Tapia and that negotiations are advanced for March friendlies against Senegal and Jordan.
