The future of the Colombia national team is a complete unknown after the elimination of Qatar 2022, after which the Colombian Football Federation has not commented on the future of coach Reinaldo Rueda, who added his second failed attempt to qualify for the Tricolor to an orbital event.
The truth is that the panorama of the Vallecaucano coach, who stated during the press conference after the game against Venezuela in Puerto Ordaz, is not clear, that his continuity in office was subject to qualification for the world cup and his fate remained in the hands of the managers of the Colombian Football Federation.
At the moment, there is much speculation about the bond between Reinaldo Rueda and the federation that one sector of the press already points out that his contract ended after failing to get the ticket to Qatar, while another party claims that their contractual relationship expires next June.
It should be noted that the Colombian team will hold a friendly match with Brazil in September that will serve as preparation for the leaders of Tite ahead of the World Cup in which they are part of Group G together with Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon.

In this way, we will have to wait if before the end of April the leaders of the federation, headed by Ramón Jesurún, take action in the matter on the Rueda case, which was initially proposed that he would be in charge of the national team until 2026.
However, there are several names of coaches that sound to take the position of Reinaldo Rueda, who among other things would have an offer to lead Atlético Nacional once his departure from the Tricolor is confirmed.
Firstly, from Argentina they have assured that Marcelo Bielsa, who recently left the technical direction of Leeds in England, is the one who is on the tip to lead the Colombian national team for the elimination process towards the United States, Mexico and Canada 2026.
In addition, the rosarino has extensive experience and has led in two world championships; one with the 'Albiceleste' selection in Korea & Japan 2002 and Chile, which he qualified for South Africa in 2010.
Other names have also appeared, such as that of fellow Argentinean Ramón Díaz, who is currently directing in Saudi Arabia and had an unsuccessful passage through the Paraguayan national team between 2014 and 2016.
A Colombian who has been a trend in recent days is Luis Fernando Suárez who, after a hard start in the Concacaf qualifiers, won the playoff spot with Costa Rica that will play New Zealand for a direct quota to Qatar, and therefore several national journalists have asked for it for the coffee team.
However, the favorite of many because of his past in the country, where he wore the América de Cali shirt, and great present with Peru, is Ricardo Gareca, who is preparing the game of repechage against Australia or the United Arab Emirates.
The Argentine has made an admirable process with the White Red, which he qualified for the previous world championship after 36 years of absence and could reach his second consecutive orbital event.
For this reason, the former coach of Independiente Santa Fe denied the rumors that bring him closer to the Colombian football team.
