In their recent Copa America 2024 campaign, Mexico faced another disappointing early exit from a major tournament, emphasizing ongoing challenges for El Tri.
Following the team’s failure to advance past the group stage, the Mexican Football Federation announced Jaime Lozano’s departure as head coach, marking a new chapter in the team’s coaching saga.
Why Jaime Lozano is Leaving as Mexico Coach
After a string of underwhelming performances, including this year’s Copa America, Lozano’s exit was confirmed on July 16 by the FMF. The decision followed extensive internal reviews and discussions within the coaching staff.
The FMF revealed Lozano’s refusal to collaborate with a more experienced technical director for the upcoming World Cup cycle, prompting his departure.
Potential Candidates for the Next Mexico Coach
Javier Aguirre is being heavily considered as the next head coach for Mexico as per reports and FMF’s preferences. While Aguirre’s appointment seems likely, other names like Andre Jardine and Guillermo Almada have been suggested by fans.
Despite initial reluctance, Aguirre, who led Mexico in the 2002 World Cup, could be a strategic choice for El Tri’s coaching position.
