WCQ: Paraguay sack coach Berizzo after Bolivia defeat
Paraguay have sacked head coach Eduardo Berizzo following Thursday’s 4-0 defeat at Bolivia in their 2022 World Cup qualifier, the country’s soccer federation said.
Berizzo took over in February 2019 after Colombian Juan Carlos Osorio resigned.
The Paraguay Football Association (APF) said in a statement on Twitter that it will announce the new coaching staff shortly.
