Venezuela are in last place in the standings at the 2022 FIFA World Cup Conmebol qualifiers with less than ten points and a negative record of 2-1-11. Only two teams in the South American qualifiers have two wins or less, Paraguay and Venezuela. But now that Venezuela has a new head coach, things could improve for the team.
The last loss for the Venezuelans was on November 16, 2021 at home, the team played better than in previous games but it was not enough to win. The team lost 1-2 against Peru at home. Before that defeat Venezuela had lost against Ecuador on the road 1-0, the last three games were defeats for Venezuela.
Venezuela is unlikely to qualify for Qatar 2022, but now the team has an experienced head coach, Pekerman, a man who knows how to deal with problems within a national team roster.
