In Ecuador, the first selection under Gallardo has brought an immediate connection to Buenos Aires. The new Tri coach has announced his opening squad as he prepares for his debut in charge, calling up an Argentine goalkeeper alongside Jordy Caicedo.
The pair arrive from Huracán, where Caicedo shares a dressing room with the goalkeeper in Argentina’s capital. Their inclusion gives Gallardo an early link between Ecuador’s national side and one of the clubs competing in the Argentine game.
Gallardo’s first list marks the beginning of his Ecuador tenure, with the coach now turning attention towards his first match on the Tri bench.
