A new drama strongly surrounded the Mexican team, since as consequence of the resignation of the high commissioner of the Mexican Football FederationJuan Carlos “La Bomba” Rodríguez, his compadre Javier Aguirre was nothing short of stepping aside and leaving the Tricolor without a coach.

The above could be known through TUDN, where it was established that Javier Aguirre resigned before Juan Carlos Rodríguez as a show of solidarity and support for the leader who brought him back for his third stage in history at the head of the Aztec national team.

According to the data released through this media outlet that has exclusive management of the information of the Mexican national team, It was highlighted that Aguirre’s insistence was very strong to leave his position as coachespecially because he will no longer have the unrestricted support that he had with his compadre “Bomba” Rodríguez.

However, the leader himself made him come to his senses. to the strategist with 64 games coached in the Mexican national team in his two previous processes, where he recorded 39 victories, but without being able to go beyond the round of 16 in the World Cups in Korea and Japan 2002 and South Africa 2010, generating a sea of ​​doubts regarding his third process.

For that reason, at the time of being appointed by the former director of the Mexican Football Federationthe support was unconditional, but with the departure of the “Bomb” things will no longer be as strong in the surroundings of “Vasco” Aguirre, but they still ended up convincing him to fulfill his contract until the 2026 World Cup.

Aguirre, in the talk he had with Juan Carlos Rodríguez, made him see the pros and cons of continuing to lead the Mexican team, but with arguments they made him change his decision and choose to fulfill his commitment in the Aztec national team.

The current technical director of Mexico was appointed last July after Jaime Lozano failed in the last Copa América and the high command of Aztec football decided to take the bull by the horns and make use of “Vasco” Aguirre who no longer continued to lead Mallorca in Spanish football.

Nobody doubts the ability of Javier Aguirre, but now his detractors will have the free way to put the national coach before the dilemma of putting up with the criticism or resign from his position in the event that the team does not achieve the expected results between now and the start of the World Cup.
