Peru have fired coach Juan Reynoso, the country’s FA (FPF) said, following a run of poor results in their opening games of the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.

Peru are bottom in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying standings with two points after two draws and four losses.

Reynoso was appointed in 2022 to replace Argentina’s Ricardo Gareca, who led Peru to their first World Cup in 36 years in 2018.
