Héctor Cúper distanced himself from Jorge Fossati after comparisons were made regarding the use of a three-man back line at Universitario: “Nobody has the absolute truth”

Football manager Héctor Cúper has distanced himself from Jorge Fossati following comparisons regarding the use of a three-man defense formation at Universitario de Deportes. Addressing the subject, Cúper stated that "no one has the absolute truth" and asserted that he is neither foolish nor caprichous.

The tactical adjustment comes after Universitario de Deportes experienced a difficult start to the Torneo Clausura. Following the defensive formation change implemented by Cúper, the team successfully realigned its performance trajectory and has emerged as a title contender in the second championship of the 2026 Liga 1 season.
