Although he was mentioned as one of the possible replacements for Gustavo Alfaro in Ecuador, it is most likely that in the coming days the Uruguayan Guillermo Almada will be announced as the new coach of the Mexican soccer team. The version was broadcast by the Fox Sports Mexico chain, with names and surnames. In addition, a senior official from the Mexican Federation also announced that the appointment will be announced next week.
What did Guillermo Almada say about the option of being DT of the Ecuadorian team?
However, before it is known if Almada is the chosen one, the Uruguayan, the current coach of Pachuca, current Aztec football champion, already acknowledged that he feels ready to take the reins of the Concacaf team, which has not had a helmsman since the Gerardo Martino resigns after the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
“The best option is Guillermo Almada”, promotes Máximo Banguera for the Ecuadorian team
“The managers of Pachuca know that we would like that challenge. We are prepared for the Mexican team,” Almada commented the week before in an interview with ESPN.
“I have more titles than him,” says Miguel “Piojo” Herrera about Guillermo Almada before the option that the Uruguayan assume the Mexican team
After this statement by Almada, the former director of the national teams of Mexico, Néstor de la Torre, assured that, if he continued in office, he would not bet on the Uruguayan to give him the responsibility of leading El Tri. And he gave a reason that he considers key.
In a dialogue with Fox SportsDe la Torre revealed that he would bet on giving Miguel Herrera a second chance because Almada “transmits nervousness on the bench.”
“I threw Miguel (Herrera) over one more process. In other words, I don’t like to see Almada how he claims, how he transmits nervousness on the bench. Diario is arguing, diario is fighting with the fourth referee”, indicated De la Torre about the Uruguayan, champion in Mexico and also in Ecuador with Barcelona SC, in 2016.
Meanwhile, Ernesto Tinajero, owner of Necaxa and part of the FMF National Team Committee, assured that they may have the name of the new coach of Mexico next week, after the interviews they have held in recent days.
Tinajero also mentioned that there is still a coach to interview, to see his project and make a decision. But Fox Sports goes further.
For that chain, the “FMF would announce the new Tri coach on Thursday” and that “Guillermo Almada is close to being chosen.” On its website the television network published this last Friday: “The wait would come to an end. sources close to Fox Sports have revealed that next Thursday the future coach of Mexico will be announced. In addition, the candidate who would take the lead would be Guillermo Almada. Therefore, Pachuca, the current Liga MX champion, would be left without a coach. We’ll see if this affects the Tuzos”.
