Universitario de Deportes has already started its participation in Liga 1 2024 and after the overwhelming victory against Carlos Mannucci, it will seek its second consecutive victory in the Apertura Tournament this Saturday, February 3, when they host Atlético Grau.

The coach of the ‘U’, Fabián Bustos, will seek to add his second victory of the week, since the first was just obtained not exactly on a playing field, but in the offices.

This Thursday, February 1, his former team Santos from Brazil was once again defeated in court by ‘Toro’ Bustos. ‘Peixao’, recently relegated to Serie B, will be forced to pay him 1 million 200 thousand dollars for breach of contract. In local currency, the amount would exceed 4 million 500 thousand soles.

Although FIFA, the governing body of world football, had already determined in March 2023 that Santos should pay the millionaire amount to the ‘gaucho’ strategist, the institution did not comply with what was established and for this reason they applied a sporting sanction such as the prohibition of transfers until you pay off your debt.

Bustos Barbero arrived at ‘Alvinegro’ in March 2022 and signed a contract that ended in December 2023, but he left prematurely just four months later. The poor sporting results after 29 matches, with only eight victories, hastened his farewell to Vila Belmiro.

After the defeat in the round of 16 of the 2022 Copa Sudamericana against Deportivo Táchira of Venezuela, the coach was fired unexpectedly. For this reason, he is demanding outstanding salaries and unpaid image rights.

Once the punishment by FIFA was known, the new Santos FC board, headed by president Marcelo Texeira, began contacts with Fabián Bustos and his entourage to reach a satisfactory deal for all parties and reverse the punishment imposed for contempt of court. the previous management.

“As soon as it was notified, through the legal department, also with the aim of avoiding further damage to the club’s image, Santos began to negotiate an agreement with the former coach. The understandings are evolving satisfactorily, which indicates a quick solution to the problem that occurred during the administration of President Andrés Rueda,” he said in a statement on his website.

According to the official statement of the Brazilian team, the initial request was for six million reais, but after appeals to FIFA it could be reduced to four million of the Brazilian currency.

After his bad experience in Santos, the 54-year-old strategist had another experience in that same country directing América Mina Gerais between August and November 2023, with which he could not avoid being dropped to the second division and was also fired.

For its part, the ‘heritage of Piura’, led by Ángel Comizzo, will seek its first victory in the competition after drawing 1-1 with Alianza Atlético de Sullana in the Campeones de 36.
