It was Rueda herself who came out to deny the information published by numerous national media outlets. In dialogue with the Antioquia newspaper El Colombiano, the technician assured that he received the news of his alleged connection with the Colombian team with surprise, as there are still issues to be agreed upon within the recruitment process.
“Many friends have called me to congratulate me, but I have to say that it is not true that I am the coach of the Colombian national team,” he told the media “El Colombiano.
