The Colombian national team was shaken up by changes. It was officially announced that the head coach Jose Pekerman has left the team. The experienced strategist has been in charge of the team since 2012 and managed to lead Colombia to two consecutive World Cups. In 2014, in Brazil, they achieved a record-high finish by reaching the quarterfinals. This year, the team struggled a bit, losing to the English in the quarterfinals after a penalty shootout. It is said that the 69-year-old Pekerman is considering taking over the vacant position of coach for the Mexican team.
