Reinaldo Rueda would have an offer from Atlético Nacional after the elimination of the Colombia team from the world cup in Qatar

The 2022 World Cup Qualifiers in Qatar came to an end and after having competed in two consecutive competitions, the Colombia National Team was left out of the World Cup event. After the elimination, one of the greatest players is coach Reinaldo Rueda, who arrived after Queiroz's hecatomb in Quito and who tried to regain confidence inside the dressing room, something he may have achieved but was not reflected on the field of play.

Since his arrival in the Colombia National Team, he managed to stand out with an impressive 3-0 in Lima, drew at home with Argentina and played the Copa America where he reached the semifinal and lost from the penalty shootout with Albiceleste. After the tournament of national teams, the qualifiers resumed and the results were not what many expected. He tied with Bolivia and Paraguay on the road and subsequently thrashed Chile in Barranquilla 3-1, in what was probably the team's most outstanding game under his guidance.

After that match on September 9, 2021, a negative streak began that lasted for seven games, in which the Colombian National Team failed to win or score a single goal. It took 685 minutes to send the ball back to the back of the net and it was precisely on the penultimate date of the Playoffs. The match against Bolivia injected hope in the players and fans who, although they knew that they did not depend on themselves to go to the World Cup, were confident that this would happen, however, this was not the case. Colombia did the job, but won in Lima and won the repechage.

The Colombia National Team was once again left out of the World Cup and social networks exploded with criticism for managers, players and coaching staff. Reinaldo Rueda is one of the most notable for this situation and they even talk about who could replace them for the next Qualifiers that will start in 2023.

Rueda's future is uncertain at the moment, some journalists say that a clause in his contract would leave him out of the Colombia National Team, since if he didn't qualify, he would be fired without having to pay him any compensation. Which leaves a huge question as to who could lead the Tricolor for the next World Cup and what direction Rueda would take.

Since the departure of Alejandro Restrepo from the technical direction of Atlético Nacional, the name of Reinaldo Rueda has been mentioned, however, now with the elimination of the Tricolor, everything seems to indicate that the two-time champion of the Copa Libertadores would already be managing everything for his possible return, something that excites fans since he was by the hand of the vallecaucano coach they won the Libertadores in 2016.

According to information revealed on the Twitch program, 'El Camerino', which is directed by journalists Pipe Sierra and Alexis Rodríguez, they announced that Reinaldo Rueda already had an offer from Atlético Nacional and now that the Colombian National Team is left without participation in the World Cup, the vallecaucano would take a few days to make a decision regarding their future.

“There are possibilities, he has an offer from Atlético Nacional, we can say, we must not hide it, the dialogues existed and now the vallecaucano is going to take a few days to determine if he wants to take it and whether he can take it on since June. Or if you are going to reject the option and take some time after the failure of Selección Colombia,” said journalist Pipe Sierra.

Atlético Nacional has not spoken about this possibility and another factor to take into account is that the team is very happy with the work being carried out by Hernán Darío Herrera, who has the team as leader of the BetPlay League.
