Venezuela national soccer coach offers to resign after meeting Guaido envoy
(Reuters) - The coach of Venezuela's national soccer team said on Friday he had offered to resign after meeting with opposition leader Juan Guaido's envoy to Spain, in the midst of a power struggle between Guaido and socialist President Nicolas Maduro. After a 3-1 victory over Argentina in Spain, the coach, Rafael Dudamel, said he had spoken with officials from Venezuela's soccer federation and "put my role up for review" following his meeting with Antonio Ecarri, designated by Guaido as his ambassador to Spain, before the game in Madrid. Guaido, the head of the opposition-controlled National Assembly, invoked Venezuela's constitution to assume an interim presidency in January, arguing Maduro's 2018 re-election was fraudulent
