Mexico national team legend Rafa Marquez confirmed as next El Tri manager
Mexico national team sporting director Duilio Davino confirmed El Tri's plans heading into the 2030 World Cup involve legend Rafa Marquez leading the way.
The Mexico national team will be led by a familiar face heading into the 2030 World Cup, FMF sporting director Duilio Davino confirmed this week, and there could be other Mexico legends coming alongside him. Davino confirmed the long-standing plans for Rafa Marquez to become the new boss of El Tri, leading Mexico as it begins its push toward the 2030 World Cup. Marquez is a legend of the Mexico national team, having played in five consecutive World Cups, and one of its most successful players ever at the club level.
Marquez won the UEFA Champions League twice with Barcelona and also collected four La Liga titles with the Blaugrana. He also won league titles in France and Mexico. "Yes, his contract is signed," Davino told Fox Sports this week.
"His coaching staff is practically 80% complete. " That coaching staff may include another Mexico legend. Former Mexico midfielder Andres Guardado, who like Marquez developed in the Atlas youth setup in Guadalajara, is coaching youth players at Real Betis but may be wooed to the national team setup.
"Andres is an option," Davino said. "At the end of the day, I’d like for me not to say, for him to say, but Andres is a very good option. " Who will replace Javier Aguirre as Mexico national team coach?
