The term established by the Mexican Soccer Federation (fmf) to announce the name of the new coach of the absolute national team is yet to come. Various characters have positioned themselves as candidates to take the position, although Álvaro Morales criticized that Ignacio Ambriz is not on the list. He even attributed the action to alleged racism inside the institution.
Tuca Ferretti denied that Piojo Herrera will be the next coach of the Mexican team
The experienced technical director spoke about the characters that could occupy the bench and the dynamics in the FMF to choose them
In the program Spicy Soccer, together with the panel of commentators, Álvaro Morales carried out an analysis of the characters with qualities to occupy the bench of the Mexican team. About, León Lecanda assured that the best candidate is Ignacio Ambrizalthough since it does not meet the presumed commercial profile standards for the Federation, it has been discarded.
Morales took up the point of view and supported it, as did Rafael Puente and Jared Borgetti. However, beyond talking about the commercial profile, the panelist ensured racist behavior in the FMF for that Ambriz is not considered at the same level as Miguel Herrera, Guillermo Almada and Jaime Lozano.
“It is not a question of profile or commercial, it’s a matter of racism. Nacho Ambriz, having a dark genotype and from the Western Eurocentric perspective of sponsor brands, does not fit into his racial profile. It’s a pity and it’s a pity. Let’s say things as they are. With Nacho Ambriz there is racial discrimination ”, assured before the cameras ESPN.
Who is the candidate proposed by Gerardo Martino to take the reins of the National Team
Prior to his departure from ‘Tricolor’, ‘Tata’ presented the ideal coach to the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) to succeed him on the Mexican bench
To support their argument, the panel of commentators recalled the track record and track record that Nacho has achieved as technical director. It is worth mentioning that he is only one of the candidates with experience directing in European footballin teams like the Huescaalthough he was also an assistant to Javier Aguirre in the Atlético de Madrid and Osasuna.
It is worth mentioning that, as a strategist in Mexico, he has managed to raise the Mexico Cup with Club Necaxa in 2018, as well as Liga MX with Club León a couple of seasons later. Before, in 2016, she conquered the Concacaf Champions League with Club América. Similarly, in his stage with the Red Devils of Toluca he was able to reach the final of the Apertura 2022, when he fell to the Tuzos de Almada.
“In this soccer industry, which in our country was founded by the Creoles, the issue with Nacho, who has all the credentials, it’s a racial issue (…) They don’t even take it into account, but it wasn’t Gerardo Torrado, who had zero capacity as general sports director of national teams, because there is racial privilege in this country,” Morales continued.
Jorge Pietrasanta struck Christian Martinoli for criticizing Piojo Herrera
Within the framework of the arrival of the new coach of the Mexican team, the ESPN commentator recalled the conflict that separated Miguel Herrera from the bench after Brazil 2014
Similarly, León Lecanda confirmed that no director of the national team commission or any other cell of the FMF has approached to agree an interview and learn about the work project that Ignacio Ambriz could implement in the national team.
According to various experts, the two characters closest to the position of national coach are Miguel Louse herrerawho already had a short period as coach, as well as Guillermo Almada, current champion of Mexican soccer with the Tuzos de Pachuca. In this regard, the panelists trusted the Argentine as the fittest of the duo.
