During his official presentation, Pékerman assured that the commitment to the Venezuelan team was “total” and said that he hoped to be in charge of Vinotinto during the 2026 World Cup.
The qualification of Vinotinto to a World Cup was the challenge for Pékerman, who leaves the national team with five wins, one draw and four losses in the 10 official matches played since his entry.
