HJK Helsinki U21 vs PPJ U21 on 10 May
The focus will be on Alejandro Restrepo, who is set to become the new coach of Alianza Lima. His official presentation will take place once his arrival in Lima is confirmed. The Colombian strategist must resolve his contractual situation with Alianza Petrolera before formalizing his move.
Restrepo, 63, would arrive with his own trusted coaching staff. The club’s management was impressed by his strong track record during previous stints in Colombian football, particularly his ability to lead young squads and compete effectively in knockout playoffs.
Alianza Lima’s immediate goal remains winning the Clausura tournament. However, the board is also building a long-term sporting project. Restrepo fits this vision perfectly, thanks to his experience and leadership profile.
The new coach will have the task of revitalizing the team after the departure of several key players and a disappointing end to the previous season, where Alianza Lima failed to reach the finals after a poor campaign in the total table.
