?​ Crisis for Mexican managers? The qualifiers and play-offs tell the truth

?​ Crisis for Mexican managers? The qualifiers and play-offs tell the truth

The recent elimination of Pumas in the final phase of Liga Mx confirmed a worrying trend: once again, the champion will be a foreign strategist. And the outlook doesn't improve if we look at the activity of the most sought-after Mexican coaches on the international scene. Is it time to talk about a crisis with Mexican coaches?

Luis Fernando Tena: The "Flaco" couldn't replicate his Olympic success. Leading the Guatemalan National Team, he failed to qualify for the next World Cup, falling short in the final CONCACAF contention.

Miguel Herrera: The "Piojo", with championships in Liga Mx, also couldn't take the Costa Rican National Team to the main event. His tenure ended after failing to qualify for the World Cup.

Javier Aguirre: in his third stint leading Mexico, he hasn't had the best results, leaving many doubts ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Will we see in Rafa Márquez the beginning of a new era of national strategists?
