The coach has shaken the fans of the Universitario team with his statement after Pumas UNAM had a disastrous end to the year after being eliminated in the reclassification phase. 

In addition, this elimination came after losing the final of the CONCACAF Champions League to a team from the MLS, the Seattle Sounders

And with this defeat, Pumas UNAM put an end to a 17-year streak in which the clubs that had won the tournament were from Liga MX. On the other hand, Ferretti also spent 1 bitter cycle with Bravos de Juarez

In the Apertura 2021, his club finished in 16th place out of 18 in the general table, and in the current Clausura 2022, the team finished in 18th place, for which he had to pay a million-dollar fine as per Liga MX rules.

As a result of this, the coach and the club ended their working relationship and, as a result, Ferretti is now free and without a team, and made statements that thrilled fans of the Universitario team.

Ricardo "Tuca" Ferretti wants to return to Pumas UNAM

The coach shocked Pumas UNAM fans by saying that he wants to return to the team, as he considers it to be an institution and one of the 4 greats of Mexican soccer.

His words were:

What would be the obstacle for Ferretti to return to Pumas UNAM?

That obstacle has a first and last name and it is Andrés Lillini, the club's current coach and whose contract still covers the next tournament, meaning that he would be free to leave the Universitario club until December 2022.

In addition, Lillini has been widely supported by the Auriazules fans who consider that the Argentinean coach has done a lot with the Auriazul team despite the small budget the team has.

Who would Pumas UNAM fans prefer to coach the team, "Tuca" Ferretti or Lillini?
