translated from Spanish: At Alianza Lima they trust Salas: “He is a technician who likes to win and champion”

The sporting director of Alianza Lima, Víctor Marulanda, told how the arrival of the national coach Mario Salas was realized to ‘Los Ines’ and externalized his confidence in a good future of the first team with the ‘Commander’ in the bank. Salas will have in Alliance his second experience in Peruvian football, after winning three titles with Sporting Cristal (Summer Tournament, Opening Tournament and Decentralized Tournament 2018). Asked by the arrival of the 52-year-old native of Viña del Mar to the whites, Marulanda told the Peruvian newspaper Depor that “first we look at his performance in the competition. I’ve been following him since the final he played with Sporting Cristal in 2018. I liked the way you played your teams. I found out more about him and his methodology and when the Pablo Bengoechea thing happened we pointed to him.” I met with him before the match against Racing to see if there was a connection to the working methodology. Mario showed me how he worked together with two people from his technical staff and there was a connection. I exposed it to the board, there was consensus and two days later we closed with it,” the leader added. Finally, Marulanda hopes for a good future for her squad with Salas on the bench. “We are confident that Mario can be a great leader, that he will lead us down a good path hoping to achieve the goal. We think of Salas because he’s a coach who likes to win and camp,” he said. Alianza was runner-up in the last long tournament of Peruvian football, a contest where he fell in the final against Deportivo Binacional.
