SANTIAGO: Chile coach Marcelo Bielsa has called up a team of young players and substitutes for an international friendly on Jan 22 against the United States in Los Angeles.
Bielsa’s future with the Chile team is unclear. He stepped down in November after Jorge Segovia was elected president of the national federation, saying he could not work for the Spanish businessman.
Bielsa was hired by the outgoing president Harold Mayne-Nicholls. Segovia’s election was annulled several weeks afterwards with a new ballot set for Jan 7.
The Argentina-born Bielsa has been urged to stay on by top Chilean officials, at least until the Copa America in six months, but he has not made his plans clear.
