After a long search for their next national team head coach, Mexico has turned to a familiar face to lead them into a new era. Javier Aguirre has been appointed as the new manager of the Mexican national team, marking a return to the role he previously held from 2001 to 2002.
Aguirre’s appointment comes after several months of speculation and uncertainty following the departure of former head coach Tata Martino. The decision to bring Aguirre back to the helm was met with mixed reactions from fans and critics alike, with some questioning whether the 62-year-old coach still has what it takes to lead Mexico to success on the international stage.
Aguirre’s previous tenure as Mexico’s head coach saw mixed results, with the team failing to qualify for the 2002 World Cup. However, he also led Mexico to a Gold Cup victory in 2003, proving his ability to lead the team to success in major tournaments.
Despite his past successes and failures, Aguirre’s return to the national team has been met with optimism from many fans who see him as a steady and experienced hand to guide the team through the upcoming World Cup qualifiers and beyond. With the team currently sitting in third place in the CONCACAF World Cup qualifying standings, Aguirre will have his work cut out for him as he looks to secure Mexico’s spot in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
As Mexico begins this new chapter with Aguirre at the helm, all eyes will be on the veteran coach to see if he can once again lead the national team to glory on the international stage. Only time will tell if Aguirre’s experience and leadership will be enough to bring success to Mexico as they look to make their mark in world football.
