Failure that is hardly forgiven. The elimination of Rayados de Monterrey in the Club World Cup against Al-Ahly has been a heavy blow for the Monterrey fans that demand the dismissal of Javier Aguirre and from the board of directors the movements to despite the fact that the strategist assures that he has his support.
And it is that a new stumble, this time against Al Jazeera , could mean the rope around the neck for ‘Vasco’, which would seal a shameful passage through the Club World Cup.
Not to mention the conformist statements he gave after being eliminated, where he justified his failure with the gray past that the albiazul team has had in past editions of the tournament.
And despite the fact that Aguirre barely completed his first year at the helm of Rayados (He has a two-year contract and with the option to extend for a third party) and is considered by many to be one of the best strategists in Mexican soccer, the upper echelons of the club are already analyzing who could be the candidates for relieve him.
The main candidates to replace Aguirre
Although it currently seems unlikely that Aguirre will stop being the helmsman of the albiazul team, due to the high compensation that the club would have to pay him, the man who would take the baton after his dismissal would be Luis Pérez.
Pérez currently manages the Mexico Sub-20 and also had a step in command of ‘El Tri’ Sub-17 and a short career in football of Spain, in Toledo, where he directed from 1200 to ta 2021.
And in addition to Pérez, another option is being considered, even less likely, but not impossible. This is Matías Almeyda, who currently manages the San Jose Earthquakes of the MLS but who is not happy , because they did not bring him the reinforcements he requested, less than a month before the local tournament began.
