Jorge Araujo was chosen to assume the position of interim coach of Universitario de Deportes following the recent departure of Álvaro Gutiérrez. 'Coco' had his first day of training at the Campo Mar facilities and is already thinking about the match against Sport Boys this weekend.

The former footballer served as coach of the 'crema' reserve, but the 4-1 rout against Alianza Lima in the last classic forced the Uruguayan out and will now take responsibility for the first team. It will be a rematch for him, because months ago he had the opportunity to lead in the club 'merengue', but he was replaced by Manuel Barreto due to a health problem.

According to information from Gustavo Peralta, a journalist for Libero, the management does not see with bad eyes that Araujo stays on the bench for a while. Because the last reinforcements of Rodrigo Vilca and Andy Polo, added to the end of Gutierrez's contract, have meant financial outlay and the budget would be a little short.

In addition, the management wants to take some time to hire the right technician. For this reason, the former defender could lead the next three matches in Liga 1, that is, he would face Sport Boys, Atlético Grau and Alianza Atlético.
