Ibáñez, 58, was the third coach of the Peruvian national team in the Qualifiers, where they finished second to last in the standings, with 12 points from 18 matches.

The Argentine-Peruvian replaced Uruguayan Jorge Fossati in February, who had held the position since January 2024, after replacing Peruvian Juan Reynoso.

Peru saw its dream of playing in the 2026 World Cup come to an end after its worst campaign: 2 wins, 6 draws, and 10 losses. They scored only six goals and conceded 17 in the 18 rounds of the Qualifiers that ended on Tuesday.
