Guede on rejecting San Lorenzo: "Alianza Lima commitment is huge" | OneFootball

Pablo Guede, head coach of Alianza Lima from Peru, explained why he turned down the chance to return to San Lorenzo, even though he seemed to be the main candidate to replace Damián Ayude.

“My agent received an offer from San Lorenzo and I decided to stay at Alianza. I chose to stay because the mutual commitment with the players is tremendous,” he stated after the 2-0 victory over Juan Pablo II, a win that put them at the top of the Apertura standings.

Additionally, Guede highlighted his connection with the Alianza Lima management: “Because of the relationship and the support I’ve received from the sporting management, and because the board behind this is fundamental for us to achieve the goal we’ve had in mind since the first day I arrived.”

He also hinted that he never really considered leaving the club, responding with irony. “I loved all the things that were said during the week, people have a great imagination, I laughed a lot but this is the reality,” he remarked.

Guede’s refusal added a new problem for San Lorenzo in their search for a new coach. Martín Palermo is another main option for the board. Meanwhile, Alan Capobianco, the Reserve team coach, took charge of the team in the rout against Deportivo Rincón in the Copa Argentina.
