The massively popular Bielsa is loved in Chile, and the Argentine had insisted he would resign if Harold Mayne-Nicholls was beaten by Jorge Segovia in the Chilean FA’s Presidential election. Segovia won but the result was declared void, and Sergio Jadue has now been named as the new president.
Mauricio Etcheberry of the Chilean FA said: “We want to inform you that the president of the ANFP continues in talks with the objective of Marcelo Bielsa carrying on.”
