Ghosts surround the Cruz Azul . Before the match of the Final of the Liga MX , it is inevitable to think about the negative streak of the Mexican team without lifting a league trophy. However, “ The Machine ” has a secret tool . The “Cementero” team relies on the fame of its coach, Juan Reynoso , of ending long spells in football . Before Santos Laguna , the Peruvian must end with a drought of 23 years.
💙 “This one cannot escape us” 💙
Juan Reynoso was a banner in the final of the 80 and now wants to guide Cruz Azul to the title after 24 years 🔝

From a questioned arrival to excessive praise , this is how Juan Reynoso transformed his work at Cruz Azul. However, is still missing the biggest step . The fans have all their hope in this team and in the ideal strategist to end the constant sports defeats.

Apparently the next driver of the @CruzAzulCD will be Juan Reynoso

Juan Reynoso , the coach who does not believe in losing streaks
Han been three times the times in which the per uano has been the manager in obtaining titles after long waits . Probably the most bombastic case of all, he got it in Coronel Bolognesi , in the year 2007.
In the first season with the Peruvian team, Reynoso managed to get the league title in soccer in that country. This feat meant the club’s first trophy after 78 years without even being a finalist . As if that were not enough, this title also meant the club’s first classification to the Copa Libertadores .

Two years later, Reynoso would end another negative streak . On 2009, the strategist managed to lift the title with the University Club , after beating Alianza Lima in the final. This fact allowed “Los Cremas” to put an end to a drought of trophies that had been suffering for 9 years .

Finally, and closer to our dates, is the case of Melgar . Reynoso acquired his fame in Peruvian football and “ El Dominó ” wanted to try his luck with the strategist. This decision was the correct one. One year after it was announced, “ El Cabezón ” managed to raise the trophy with the team after 34 years without stroking one .
Juan Reynoso the best football coach #PERU 2016.

Undoubtedly, Cruz Azul clings to this constant of its current coach. Reynoso is the Ace on the sleeve of “The Machine” to end the spell that has harmed them for more than two decades. We only need to wait for the outcome of the final, to find out if Reynoso will be able to certify his fame as an “exterminator of bad streaks” .
They seek to win their 1st LigaMx, both coaches have experience and record in South American leagues.
