Universitario have moved swiftly to reshape their dugout, ending Héctor Cúper’s spell and bringing Fabián Bustos back to the club.
The Lima side confirmed Bustos as their new coach shortly after announcing Cúper’s departure. Both managers are Argentine, but Bustos returns with a prior bond to Universitario’s supporters after winning a title during his earlier stint.
Quick facts
- Universitario have ended Héctor Cúper’s tenure as head coach.
- The club confirmed the return of Argentine manager Fabián Bustos.
- Bustos has previously won a championship with Universitario.
- Universitario marked Cúper’s exit through its social-media channels.
The decision closes a brief chapter for Cúper and restores a coach already familiar with the demands around the Peruvian champions. Bustos returns knowing both the club and the weight that comes with having delivered silverware there before.
Universitario’s public farewell to Cúper came before the confirmation of Bustos, leaving the club with an immediate successor rather than an extended search during a decisive part of the season.
