Jorge Fossati has been hired as Peru's national soccer team coach. He replaces Juan Reynoso, who was fired two weeks ago amid a poor campaign in World Cup qualifying. Fossati, a 71-year-old Uruguayan, takes over Peru after a successful stint at Lima-based club Universitario, which won the Peruvian league title this season after a 9-year drought. Peru sits at the bottom of the 10-team round-robin competition for spots at the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada with only two points after six matches.
