In recent days, the Mexican leadership announced the hiring of the albiceleste Diego Cocca, although the Uruguayan told THE UNIVERSE that he had held talks with the federation of that country.
“We talked with the Mexican Federation (to lead the team), but we did not reach an agreement. We spent about a month talking (with the leaders) ”, he replied.
On Saturday, Almada said he was open to any help that the Aztec team needs and closed the issue of his option to be the DT.
“The selection thing: thank the Owners Committee, who listened to our proposal to Rodrigo Ares de Parga, Ordiales…; thank you all. Congratulations to Cocca, wish him the best in selection, because we are all involved. A very big thank you to everyone who thought of us, that we could lead the team. So, nothing, just thanks,” he explained.
“I had a call after Ares de Parga and Jaime Ordiales, which I am very grateful for. I insist again: it is a closed chapter and all the support we can give. Selection: wish Diego Cocca all the success, he deserves it; I can not say anything else. The thanks to the Owners Committee for having thought of us and listening to us, “added the DT.
Almada thanked the support he received from the Mexican fans who agreed that he was Martino’s successor at Banco del Tri.
“I’m fine. I have a lot of desire, a lot of desire. And I am very grateful for the support of all the Mexican fans who have permanently supported us in the possibility of being a coach of the national team, ”he said.
“We are focused on the work in Pachuca. We knew the affection that our people, our managers and players profess for us. We are publicly grateful for the support they gave us, because it makes one feel supported and directed in the place where we are working”, concluded Almada. (D)
