Vizcarrondo, who ‌earned 80 caps for Venezuela and ‌represented the country at four Copa América tournaments, will lead the country through the qualifying process for ⁠the 2030 World Cup.

"This is an important ‌challenge for my career. It's true that ​I have a relatively new coaching career, but with the support of my team, we'll achieve great things for our football," Vizcarrondo said ‌at his presentation.

The 41-year-old worked with the Venezuela youth teams, managing the U15s and U17s. As a ⁠player, he had stints for clubs in his home country as well as in Argentina, Paraguay, Colombia, Mexico and France.

Venezuela, who have never played in a World Cup, failed to qualify for this year's tournament, which is being co-hosted by Mexico, Canada and the United ⁠States from June 11th to ‌July 19th.

They narrowly missed out on securing a spot in the intercontinental playoffs after losing their final qualifier.
