The board of directors of Caracas FC announced that Henry Meléndez will remain in charge of Rojo on an interim basis until December 2026.

“If there is a person with a vocation, a sense of belonging because of these colors and an undoubted professionalism to take on any challenge that comes his way, it is coach Henry Meléndez,” the club reported on its website.

He explained that the strategist accepted the responsibility of holding the reins of the first team on an interim basis, after marking a historic moment in the institution at the international level.

“Meléndez is a strategist with an Avilian DNA, familiar with the institution's training project, which year after year has left its sporting and economic benefits. A technical director made in Caracas and for Caracas, who arrived in 2022 as general coordinator of the Red youth academy, after a passage as helmsman of the reserve category in previous years,” he said.

In the 2026 South American Cup, under the command of Henry Meléndez, Rojo achieved a draw at home against Racing Club de Avellaneda, a victory in Bolivia over Independente Petrolero and another equality against the Argentines, but as a visitor, certifying a historic qualification for the playoffs in the round of 16.

With this record, Meléndez will officially take charge of the first team and as his first challenge he will have the South American playoffs where he will face Independente Santa Fe de Colombia in round trips.

Then, the goal will be set in the Venezuela Cup and the Closing Tournament of the FUTVE League to put Caracas back on top.
