Marcelo Gallardo in frame for Ecuador job as talks progress | OneFootball

According to Radiogol.com, Marcelo Gallardo is close to becoming Ecuador’s new head coach, with talks understood to be advanced.

The Argentine would be the Ecuadorian federation’s choice to replace Sebastián Beccacece, having moved ahead of other contenders.

This would be Gallardo’s first role in international management. Negotiations are said to be at a late stage, with only minor details to resolve.

If confirmed, it would mark a new chapter after his spells with Nacional in Uruguay, River and Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia.

The federation are weighing up alternative options, but Gallardo is currently viewed as the leading candidate to take charge of La Tri.
