At the moment when August 2nd is approaching, the supposed date that is being handled unofficially for Javier Aguirre’s presentation Regarding the technical direction of the Mexican national team, there are also versions that the so-called “Vasco” will incorporate an experienced coach to his technical team and that this option will come out between Jorge Campos, Ramon Morales, Gabriel Caballero and Rafael Marquez.

This version is one of the many that also adds to the possibility that Aguirre will arrive with the same technical team that worked alongside him at Mallorca and that has been accompanying him on projects for some time now. as in the Rayados of Monterrey and previously in Leganés of Spain, for which reason, in the 15 days remaining until the date mentioned for the official presentation, They must clarify the situation regarding who will be part of their group of collaborators.

For now, it is assured, according to newspaper reports, that the high command of the Mexican Football Federation has asked Javier Aguirre to incorporate one of these names that are mentioned and among Among them, the current TV Azteca commentator stands out, as well as the former coach of the Chivas U17, the former coach of FC Juárez and the current coach of Barcelona B.

Initially it was said unofficially that one of the candidates to join Aguirre’s work group was his friend Alfredo Tena, but like the former coach of America, Santos Laguna, Pachuca, is currently an assistant in the U17 of MexicoThey do not see it as very viable to move this piece to try to shore up the Mexican team.

It has been reported that the owners of Liga MX teams have given precise instructions to the high command of the Federation that the error that led to the breakdown of Jaime Lozano’s project cannot be repeated, who was given free rein to choose his group of collaborators, when they lacked experience for a challenge like the 2024 Copa América.

It was known in advance that the challenge for Jaime Lozano was complicated and even more so after the stumble in the Nations League that prevented Mexico from playing the final, There had to be an effort to bring in someone with a lot of experience to serve as an analysis panel for the decisions of a young coach with avant-garde ideas, but who also did not have the unrestricted support to continue with his project until the 2026 World Cup.

So in the next few hours the decision of “Vasco” Aguirre will be known. In this regard, while sources close to Ramón Morales assured this publishing house that he is ready to collaborate if required.
