“I never rule out the teams where I worked because I left with open doors. I did things well and when decisions are made you have to accept them or not, but if you do things well, the doors are open ”, he commented in an interview with ESPN.
But Herrera also explained that he is excited about the stage he is living with the Xolos de Tijuana. where a new restructuring is expected after the failure in the Clausura 2023 Tournament where they were left out of the Liguilla.

“What I have heard is that his contract was ending and he said that he would not continue, but the idea was that he would continue. His numbers support it and winning or not the title is a consequence of the work done in the game. Decisions are made, I don’t know if he rushes and the board does not back down. He will get a job, because his numbers are very good, ”said the Mexican coach.
El Piojo pointed out that the América bench is one of the hottest in which he has been along with that of the Mexican National Team. The Mexican technical director has experience in both environments.
“Of those that I have lived, yes. Undoubtedly.

The selection one is a very hot seat and the one from America follows it, ”he said.
