Ayacucho FC: Jorge Wilstermann coach was dismissed after defeat to the 'Zorros' in the Copa Sudamericana

Miguel Ponce's stay in Bolivia was short and what ended it all was the defeat to Ayacucho FC for the Copa Sudamericana. Just one day after the tremendous 2-0 win that the 'Zorros' scored in Cochabamba, Jorge Wilstermann's board decided not to count on the Chilean anymore. He only spent 133 days at the club.

Being the last of group D of the Conmebol tournament and fifth with 10 points in the Apertura Tournament of the Bolivian league, those who lead the team decided to no longer count on the services of the strategist, who played 12 matches and added four wins, two draws and six losses.

“Professor Miguel Ponce stops being part of the institution from this moment on. We are grateful for the work done to this day and we wish him success in his professional future,” the club wrote on its social networks to say goodbye to the DT, who apparently has an offer from Santiago Wanderers of the Chilean first division.

Recall that the 'ayacuchanos' won a great victory on the road and added their first three points in the competition afterwards to fall 3-2 to Sao Paulo in Lima on the first date of the international tournament, where they arrived after leaving on the way to Sport Boys. The 'church team' was not only superior in the result, but also in the game. Although the reds had some chances and made goalkeeper Andy Vidal figure.

This was the third experience abroad, with Bolivia being the only country where Miguel Ponce worked abroad for the time being. He had previously directed San Jose and Blooming, where he didn't stay long either and didn't get great results.

Let's remember that Ayacucho FC and Jorge Wilstermann will meet again in the Copa Sudamericana, but this time those led by Alejandro Apud will be local. This commitment will be played on Thursday, May 05 for the fourth day of group D and will probably take place at the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega stadium in Cusco. The 'Zorros' are part of group D with Sau Paulo from Brazil and Everton from Chile. It is important to note that only the first of each group will go to the round of 16.
