The Paraguayan Football Association has already set a plan in motion to secure Gustavo Alfaro’s continuity as national team head coach. After taking Paraguay back to a World Cup after 16 years, the leadership wants the Argentine to lead a long-term process that goes beyond this year’s World Cup results.
According to local media, the Paraguayan leadership’s intention is to prioritize the current work process over whatever happens at the tournament in North America. Even in the event of an early elimination, the decision to keep the coach in the position appears firm. Initial contacts have reportedly already taken place to discuss strategic matters and outline the general framework of a new agreement.
The main objective is for Alfaro to lead the full World Cup cycle through 2030, the edition in which Paraguay will be one of the host countries. For this, a specific executive has reportedly already been appointed to carry out the negotiations with the coaching staff. For now, the talks have focused on logistics and the sporting project, leaving the financial aspect for a later stage.
Now, while preparing for the 2026 World Cup, he has on the table the proposal to take the reins of the national team for the next four years.
