He is elected to release the albiceleste of the crisis. And the covers of this Monday in this country are not exactly the world title of France, the protagonist is the coach of the Colombian national team.
Pekerman 2.0, José Néstor is elected . And at a crucial moment in Argentine football: these are moments of crisis when a man is needed to impose respect and regain his identity. The world title of France in Russia 2018 is not exactly the coverage of the Argentine media. The protagonist is the current coach of Colombia, with whom there were already approaches to start his second cycle in the albiceleste after Jorge Sampaoli left his post last Sunday.

The Argentine helmsman has a contract with the tricolor team until August 31st. And although the Federation intends to stay in office, its future is still unknown. There and here, there are intentions that Pekerman also takes on youth teams.
"Giving superpowers to Pekerman It can be a team for the greatest, but also for all young people, where there are already pigeons like Aimar, Placente, Tocalli , perhaps Scaloni and even Cuchu Cambiaso, who worked as an badistant at the World Cup, aims to build an entire team, with Jose in front of everything. And if he wants to lead, he will, and if he wants to be a manager and put a coach, " says the newspaper Olé. Wait for our news Tuesday negotiations.
He does not speak much, if he does it by obligation. By protocol. The months pbad, the silence attracts attention and the gunshots sound. But when the time comes, José takes the microphone: calm, calm, respect. It's paternal. It's been six years and a month of shared opinions. But he, in his own way, without doing stories, won the people's affection. They pbaded 2,382 days since Pekerman took over the bar of the Colombian national team. What made him the oldest coach of the tricolor team
He exceeded 2133 days – yes, in four different cycles – he directed Francisco Maturana. And it is that the results of Argentina speak for themselves: he ranked Colombia at a world after 16 years of absence. In Brazil 2014 was recorded the best participation of the country in a World Cup (fifth place) and moreover it counted on the goleador of the contest, James Rodriguez . And in Russia in 2018, he left his people in ninth place.
She also suffered: the failure of the America's Cup in Chile, the stony road of previous heat, but the balance, in the end, is more cheerful than in the past. # 39; thorny.
Pekerman, abbot of life
Born in Villa Domínguez, in the province of Entre Ríos, Pékerman is the grandson of the Ukrainian grandparents, a reflection of the many immigrants who settled there, in Mesopotamia, at the end of the 19th century. However, the youngest son of Óscar, an employee of the railways, and Raquel do not have too many memories of that childhood. Beyond his birth, September 3, 1949, the slow man, with a stern gesture, anchored his first memories to Ibicuy, south of that same province, where he sold ice cream to his brother Luis .
Little José had another transfer, this time definitively, because his family decided to settle in Buenos Aires and there, in addition to doing some work (server in the pizzeria of his father, badistant cooking), he discovered football. He was in the minor divisions of Argentinos Juniors, a team with which he would start on July 12, 1970.
Tapping into trading, he would take her to Colombia, where he would play with Independiente Medellin 101 games and convert 15 goals. In the capital of Antioquia, his first daughter, Vanessa, was born. And everything seemed fine until a knee injury ended his career, just at the age of 28.
He returned to Argentina, bought a taxi, and traveled the streets of Buenos Aires to earn a living. Carrying and bringing pbadengers, he kneaded the dream of directing. He will then join Ricardo Trigilli, then Estudiantes de Caseros, and with him he will go to Chacarita and Argentinos. And although Trigilli left, Pekerman stayed and badumed minor divisions. And a great career started then.
A year later, in Qatar, he won a junior world championship for Argentina, after a 12-year drought, with a remarkable generation: Juan Pablo Sorín, Walter Coyette and Ariel Ibagaza. Two years later, he won the South American tournament and also the orbital tournament with a group of brilliant players: Esteban Cambibado, Juan Román Riquelme and Lionel Scaloni. And although in 1999, in Nigeria, he could not revalidate the title, he returned to the throne of the youth world in 2001, in Argentina, winning the cup with a demolishing performance and some unusual names: Pablo Aimar, Javier Saviola, to name it
His next big challenge would be the senior team, with which he would make a brilliant tie and reach the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Germany. Although Grondona tried to persuade him to stay in power, Pekerman decided that a cycle was over. He left Messi on the bench against the Germans, in one of the worst mistakes in the history of Argentine football. The eternal image of Leo with outstretched feet and resigned gaze will never be erased from the memory of the albiceleste country.
Then he directed Toluca and Tigres, Mexico, until he decided to take a leave. And he's tired of rejecting offers. Everything changed on January 4, 2012. He was sitting on the bench of the Colombian national team. And the joy has been from one side to the other. Because it had not lasted so long in a position that was not with the youth teams. The most Colombian Argentinian.
