Legendary defender Elías Figueroa hopes fellow Chilean Charles Aranguiz can be his successor at Internacional.

The 67 year-old made over 300 appearances for the Colorado and believes Aranguiz, who initially joined the club in January, has all the talent needed to be a real star in the Brasileirão.

“I hope he can be my successor at Inter because it’s not easy for a foreigner to succeed in a country that is so steeped in football,” he said, as reported by FIFA.com. 

“Here in Chile people don’t understand how much of a phenomenon Aranguiz is at Inter.”
