Mano Menezes unveiled as new Peru manager | OneFootball

The Peruvian National Team announced this Thursday the hiring of Mano Menezes as the new coach of the national squad. Free on the market since his departure from Grêmio, the Brazilian coach signed a contract with the Peruvian federation until 2030.

The former Grêmio coach arrives to replace Juan Ibañez, who was dismissed in September 2025. In Brazilian football, Mano Menezes has also managed clubs such as Corinthians, Fluminense, and Internacional. In addition, he led the Brazilian National Team between 2010 and 2012.

The Peruvian national team finished the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup in ninth place, with only Chile behind them. During the cycle, the team had Juan Reynoso, Jorge Fossati, and finally Óscar Ibañez as coaches, reflecting the poor performance throughout the period.

Now, the Federation is betting on Mano Menezes to bring Peru back to the World Cup.
