Mazatlán announced a few days ago the hiring of a Spanish strategist who will seek to bring order to the institution and lead them to qualify for the first league in their history . Beñat San José will be in charge of assuming the reins of the team in the next tournament of the Liga MX . The Spanish coach has an extensive career in soccer on several continents.
Tomás Boy ceased to be the coach of the Pacific team after failing to reach a economic agreement with the institution . This led to the search for a new strategist who wanted to shape a new identity and establish a new project in the club. This challenge was assumed by Beñat San José .
A different vision, projection of young and winning talent.

Despite his young age, this coach has an important career in the world of football. Its cultural diversity can mean a plus for Mazatlán . Beñat must transmit his experience to a young team that will only play its third tournament after its foundation in the year 2020 .
The whole of the Pacific finished in thirteenth position in the leaderboard. Their 21 points were not enough to get them into the next phase of the Mexican tournament. Tomás Boy left a record of six wins, three draws and eight losses . These are the numbers that the Spanish must overcome to begin to write the success story of Mazatlán in Mexican soccer .
