Since before the departure of the Portuguese from the technical direction of Colombia became official, Yepes’ supposed rapprochement with Marcelo Gallardo as a possible successor on the tricolor bench raised speculation in Argentina.
However, this Thursday Hernández Bonnet gave another version. In the Blu Radio Sports Blog program, he said that Queiroz “left happy with Mario Alberto Yepes, highlighting their great professional status and above all appreciating their loyalty”.
“That story that Yepes made the box for Queiroz, pure straw, pure cart,” he said.
Bonnet, who attributed the version to journalist Esteban Jaramillo, added that “one of the things that had most moved Queiroz at the time of loneliness” was that “the only person from the Colombian Soccer Federation that was permanently by his side was Mario Alberto Yepes“, For which” he was very grateful to him. “
Will Yepes leave the Federation, after Queiroz?
After the dismissal of Queiroz, it was even said that the position of the former captain of the National Team in the Colombian Football Federation would be jeopardized, a version that, if his closeness to the Portuguese coach were true, now would at least make more sense.
However, so far it is only a blunt, although the last thing Hernández Bonnet said is that Yepes continues to have detractors in the Federation such as Álvaro González Alzate, member of the board of directors of the Federation and president of Dif Fútbol.
However, an eventual arrival of Reinaldo Rueda would support Yepes, which, according to the journalist, is from the heart of the Valle del Cauca technician.
