Although the Colombian Football Federation (FCF) has not officially made Reinaldo Rueda's departure as technical director of the national team, due to the failure in the qualifiers heading to the world cup in Qatar, the vallecaucano strategist will most likely step aside. Hence, the press nominated some coaches for office, one of them Alberto Gamero.

Samarium today has Millionarios first in the BetPlay League. In addition, he qualified him to home runs in the second half of 2021 and took him runner-up in the first half. But his work also involves the inclusion of young players in the first team, such as Emerson Rivaldo (now in the MLS), Jader Valencia and Stiven Vega, with which the ambassador leadership is particularly happy.

About the possibility of directing the Tricolor, Gamero was asked at a press conference after the victory for the slightest difference over Junior, and explained that at this time it does not bother him. His concentration is to look for a league title with the capital's draw.

Gamero, who as a coach knows what it is to receive criticism, to ask for his dismissal, as happened in the first season with the albiazul club, took the opportunity to send him a message of encouragement, while acknowledging his search to lead Colombia to its third consecutive world cup, although it didn't work.

“I take this opportunity to send a solidarity hug to Professor Rueda, because he tried by all means to take us to the World Cup and he couldn't. I know the moment he must be going through. As a coach of Colombian football, I send him my hugs and strength for him and his family,” he said.

The 58-year-old helmsman who was crowned national football champion leading Boyacá Chicó in 2008 and Deportes Tolima in 2018 also responded to those who question that since December 2019, when he arrived at Millonarios, he has not won any titles, although he cannot be denied that the team plays well. There are even those who compare it with Rafael Dudamel, who in a matter of three months won Deportivo Cali's league champion.

In this regard, he said:

The next Millonarios' match, which with the 29 points accumulated in the BetPlay League is almost qualifying for home runs, will be on Sunday, April 3, visiting América de Cali at the Pascual Guerrero Olympic Stadium. The need to add will be the scarlet squad, fifteenth in the table with 15 units and a streak of three consecutive defeats that triggered at the start of Juan Carlos Osorio on March 31.
