Current Alianza Lima coach Pablo Guede has revealed previously unknown details about his failed return to Colo Colo. Before arriving in Peruvian football in late 2025, the Argentine manager was contacted by the Blanco y Negro leadership to begin a second stint with the "Cacique." However, he decided to turn down the offer for strictly personal reasons.
The family factor and the "empty nest"
Guede explained that, at the time, he was going through a difficult period because his children had moved abroad. "I was going through a complicated time in my life… I didn't want to be far away," he confessed, admitting that he even rejected offers from clubs such as Atlético Nacional in order to prioritize his emotional stability alongside his wife.
The project that took him to Lima
What ultimately drew him to Alianza Lima was the ambitious sporting project presented by Franco Navarro. The Argentine coach said that, after learning about the goals of the intimate club, he had no doubts about accepting the challenge, thus closing the door on an immediate return to Chilean football.
