Marcelo Bielsa is one of those who are most interested in those responsible for deciding who will be the manager who will direct the Mexican National Team for the 2026 World Cup.
The first information related to the possibility of the Argentine coming to El Tri to replace Gerardo Martino was published on Twitter by David Faitelson and since then the trend has not stopped growing on social networks.
According to different sports media, in addition to the Argentine Marcelo Bielsa, there are four other candidates in the portfolio to sit on the bench of the Mexican National Team. In addition, there is the possibility of forming a kind of “advisory council” among which would be Miguel Mejía Barón, Bora Milutinovic, Javie ‘Vasco’ Aguirre, Hugo Sánchez, Chepo de la Torre, Alfredo Tena, Víctor Manuel Vucetich, publishes ESPN.
The Mexican National Team ceased to be directed by Martino at the end of his participation in the World Cup in Qatar 2022, when he left the competition by failing to qualify for the round of 16 in the group that he was part of with Argentina, later world champion, Poland and Saudi Arabia.
Yon de Luisa, president of the Mexican Football Federation, at a press conference in Qatar, said that In February they would have defined who would be the coach of the national team, a term that has two weeks left.
In addition to the World Cup of which Mexico will be one of the venues, the Tri’s closest goals include the 2023 Gold Cup and the Nations League, which will resume in March.
“Former player Rafael Márquez is also considered to be part of the technical direction of the minor divisions or to be an assistant to the coach who is appointed to the senior team, with a high probability of taking command once the period ends,” says ESPN.
