Universitario de Deportes confirmed the departure of coach Héctor Cúper on Tuesday, September 29, following a heavy defeat against Deportivo Garcilaso in Cusco that moved the team away from the top of the Liga 1 table. Journalist Eddie Fleischman criticized the club's decision, describing it as an attempt to appease the players and characterizing the handling of the coaching staff as mishandling ("manoseo").

Following Cúper's departure, the club turned its focus toward the remainder of the 2026 Liga 1 season. Speculation and discussion immediately emerged regarding potential successors, with attention centering on Fabián Bustos, his tactical style, career statistics, and his past relationship with the team's players.
