carrasco Questions Nacional Snub After Years Away From sidelines

Former Nacional coach Juan Ramón Carrasco remains puzzled about why he hasn’t been offered another opportunity to lead the Montevideo-based club. Carrasco, who previously managed Nacional between 2010 and 2011, was reportedly considered by José Decurnex during his presidential campaign. Though,‍ Decurnex lost the⁢ election to Ricardo Vairo and his vice president,‍ Flavio Perchman.

Carrasco has been absent from club management for four years, his last stint being with Fénix in 2021.

Carrasco Voices Frustration Over Nacional Coaching Rejection

Carrasco recently aired his grievances on the “Tiro Paredes” program ‍on YouTube.

“At the ⁣time, I was excited about the possibility of returning,” Carrasco stated.

He ⁣continues to seek an⁤ clarification for Nacional’s reluctance to rehire him.

“The only explanation I can find is that there are leaders who are bothered by the love that the fans⁤ have for me,” Carrasco said. “I don’t know, ⁤maybe it’s because I am authentic and I don’t try to please them.” Carrasco is closely⁢ linked with Nacional, having won ‍the Uruguayan championship with them as a player in 1977.

Weeks prior, Perchman indicated that hiring⁣ Carrasco was not part of his plans, while also stating that he maintains a good relationship with Carrasco and intends to meet with him for coffee.

Carrasco confirmed he would⁤ be open to meeting with Perchman.”Of course,I would have a coffee with Flavio Perchman. I want to see what I did that was so serious that the club turns against‍ much of the fan base who loves me,” he said.

Carrasco added, “I don’t ⁣have any reservations; ‍I would have⁢ accepted the job yesterday. In the street, people stop me and ask, ‘When are you going to come back?’ When I was [coach], 24,000 new members joined, and historically, Nacional sold more tickets.”
