translated from Spanish: The ANFP cut Rueda’s salary in half

Last week the National Professional Football Association (ANFP) unveiled a set of measures to address the financial crisis due to the paralysis of activity, due to the Coronavirus pandemic.One of the most striking was the “adjustment in the compensation of the Technical Bodies of national teams”, including the DT of the “Red”, Reinaldo Rueda.These negotiations were in charge of the president of the ANFP , Sebastián Moreno, where the Colombian straterga would have shown good disposition, accepting that his remuneration was cut in half. A leader aware of the tries detailed El Mercurio that “it was a quick negotiation. They agreed to cut their salary in half while football is paralyzed, with no refund. Rueda was too gentlemanly to carry out the negotiation.” However, the same source clarified that the technical director singlely set “the discount to be lower for his collaborators”, as he “was well aware that it was not the same situation for everyone”. It should be remembered that the financial crisis affects the main leagues in the world, where many teams, such as Barcelona, have agreed to lower the salaries of footballers. In our country, a similar measure has been implemented in teams such as Unión Española and Deportes Iquique, also evaluating in Colo Colo.
