Gerardo Martino’s successor as coach of Mexico will not be Guillermo Almada, current helmsman of Pachuca, current champion of Aztec football. And although the name of the chosen one has not been officially announced, this is an open secret. He even already disassociated himself, this Thursday, from the team he led in the Clausura 2023 tournament. “Once again he will be an Argentine coach,” says the newspaper Record in its digital edition.
“Guillermo Almada transmits nervousness from the bench”, the argument for him not to be DT from Mexico
The newspaper adds on its website that “the Mexican team chose Diego Cocca as its new coach. The current coach of Tigres de Monterrey will be announced in the coming days.”

And there is more information: “The management (of the Mexican Football Federation) is in the last details. Record could know that they are only waiting for the approval of the Tigres board, who are willing to push the Cocca project with El Tri. Cocca’s name was promoted by the directives of Xolos (Grupo Caliente) and Santos (Grupo Orlegi), teams that he led at some point.
The newspaper Millennium supports the news of the arrival of Cocca to the green team. “Cocca has stopped being the coach of Tigres since Wednesday night and he will now have a clear path to accept the position of new coach of the Mexican soccer team. The Tigres board of directors decided to disconnect the contract with the Argentine and not leave it until the end of this tournament as it was handled.
according to the chain multimediaMauricio Culebro, president of Tigres, considered that “it was not healthy” for him to be linked to those from Monterrey if he had already accepted the FMF proposal. “In this way, Cocca will not appear on the Tigres bench, not even this weekend”, it is added about the DT who won two consecutive crowns with Atlas de Guadalajara and is known for having a predominantly defensive football profile.
