<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/Mexico-epic-almost-miracle-cannot-save-this-Qatar-2022-World-Cup-disaster-20221130-0053.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mexico</a> had their worst World Cup performance in more than four decades at Qatar 2022. For thousands of fans, Gerardo Martino is the one to blame considering all the controversial decisions made during his four-year tenure. From 1994 to 2018, the famous Tri always surpassed the group stage. That impressive seven-torunament streak is over.
Mexico didn’t score a single goal in the first two matches of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-how-many-games-are-played-in-the-fifa-world-cup-20221110-0046.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Qatar 2022 World Cup</a> against Poland and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/Messi-Maradona-or-Batistuta-Who-is-Argentinas-top-scorer-at-World-Cups-20221203-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Argentina</a>. Prior to the tournament, Gerardo Martino decided to cut off <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-why-is-santiago-gimenez-not-playing-for-mexico-in-the-fifa-world-cup-20221115-0032.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Santiago Gimenez </a>even after spectacular performances with Feyenoord in the Eredivisie and the Europa League. Instead, he preferred <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/raul-jimenez-salary-wolves-how-much-he-makes-per-hour-day-week-month-and-year-20221029-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Raul Jimenez</a> who wasn’t healthy enough to help the Mexican cause.
Gerardo Martino was also the one who punished<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-why-is-chicharito-not-playing-for-mexico-in-the-fifa-world-cup-20221113-0027.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chicharito Hernandez</a>to keep ‘peace’ inside the group after a supposed indiscipline during a US tour. In the last game with Saudi Arabia,when <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/mexico-vs-argentina-andres-guardado-joins-messi-and-cristiano-ronaldo-world-cup-record-20221126-0056.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mexico</a> needed one more goal to advance after a 2-0 lead, the coach’s substitutions took away momentum and the feared early elimination became a reality.
<h2>Mexican fans attack Gerardo Martino after the World Cup</h2>
Just a few hours afterthe elimination at the World Cup, theplayers were free to go on vacation with their families and some of them decided to stayin Qatar. Many reports informed that Gerardo Martino wasn’t even considering a returnto Mexico and that he probably would go to Spain.
The Mexican Federation had already confirmed that Gerardo Martino’s contract wasn’t going to be extended oficially starting the search for a new manager.It’s important to remember thatMexicowill be a host nation in the2026 World Cupalongside the United StatesandCanada.
Even with this complicated scenario,Gerardo Martino indeed came back to Mexico this Sunday. In a very shameful episode by some fans at Mexico City’s airport, the coach was insulted and attacked just because of the results in the World Cup.

Fans attack coach Gerardo Martino in his return to Mexico after the Qatar 2022 World Cup

Fans attack coach Gerardo Martino in his return to Mexico after the Qatar 2022 World Cup - Bolavip US

The rumors have finally come true: <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/Mexico-epic-almost-miracle-cannot-save-this-Qatar-2022-World-Cup-disaster-20221130-0053.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gerardo Martino</a> is no longer <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/Qatar-2022-What-happens-if-two-or-more-teams-have-the-same-points-in-the-group-20221130-0049.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mexico’s national team</a> coach. The Argentinian confirmed his exit after being eliminated from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/Qatar-2022-List-of-teams-eliminated-from-the-FIFA-World-Cup-20221129-0050.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Qatar 2022</a>, but who are the potential candidates to take this job and work towards the next FIFA World Cup?
Mexico ended a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-when-was-the-last-time-mexico-didnt-qualify-for-the-round-of-16-q22-20221128-0041.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">long streak of seven consecutive tournaments</a> going to the Round of 16 in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/Saudi-Arabia-vs-Mexico-TV-Channel-how-and-where-to-watch-or-live-stream-online-free-Qatar-2022-World-Cup-in-your-country-20221129-0048.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Qatar 2022</a>. After they got eliminated in the group stage, of course Gerardo Martino was the first person to be judged for it.
Even though they won against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-how-many-goals-do-mexico-need-to-qualify-in-the-fifa-world-cup-20221129-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saudi Arabia</a>, El Tri was eliminated due to goal difference. Now, Gerardo Martino announced he won’t be returning to Mexico and the national team is looking for a new coach.
<h2>Who are the potential candidates to coach Mexico’s national team?</h2>
In the press conference after Matchday 3, Gerardo Martino confirmed what everyone already knew: he won’t continue as Mexico’s national team coach after being eliminated from Qatar 2022.
“I’m responsible for this failure we have today,” said Martino in press conference. “My contract with the Mexican Football Federation expired when the referee ended the match, nothing else.”
With this move, Mexico’s national team is looking for a new coach to take the job and work towards the next FIFA World Cup, which will be played in Canada, United States and in their own soil.
<h3>Miguel Herrera</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img alt="Miguel Herrera" data-height="335" data-size="w:1280,h:715" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221130_BUS_207505_miguel_herrera.jpg_1028332792_934a6d0d.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="Miguel Herrera" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption> Miguel Herrera (Leopoldo Smith/Getty Images) </figcaption></figure>
</div>
Could Miguel Herrera return to El Tri? He coached the team during the 2014 FIFA World Cup and leftgood sensations, but he made a mistake and got into a fight against a Mexican commentator, so he was fired after the tournament. He just recently left Tigres, so he’s available to take the job.
<h3>Guillermo Almada</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img alt="Guillermo Almada" data-height="400" data-size="w:5568,h:3712" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221130_BUS_207505_imago-1275764.jpg_231334169_0832ed09.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="Guillermo Almada" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption> Guillermo Almada (Imago7/Andrea Jimenez) </figcaption></figure>
</div>
Guillermo Almada is probably the strongest candidate to take the national team. He just recently won the Liga MX title with Pachuca with a team full of young Mexican stars, including Luis Chavez, who shined against Saudi Arabia.
<h3>Jaime Lozano</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img alt="Jaime Lozano" data-height="335" data-size="w:1280,h:715" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221130_BUS_207505_jaime_lozano.jpg_1028332792_fd2c29ca.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="Jaime Lozano" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption> Jaime Lozano (Leopoldo Smith/Getty Images) </figcaption></figure>
</div>
Jaime Lozano coached Mexico’s U-23 national team in the 2021 Olympics in Tokio. He managed to get the squad in the podium with the third place, so fans are asking for an opportunity for the former midfielder in order to work with the players and build a younger squad for 2026.

Martino out of Mexico's national team: Who are the potential candidates to take the job?

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mexico-schedule-in-2022-dates-of-the-national-soccer-team-games-this-year-20220114-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mexico National Team’s</a> calendar in Qatar 2022 marks an important date on November 26: for the fourth time in its history, it will face Argentina in a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-messi-and-ronaldo-out-of-the-15-most-expensive-players-who-could-be-in-the-world-cup--20220716-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FIFA World Cup</a>, a match that the team currently coached by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-the-15-highest-paid-managers-in-the-upcoming-FIFA-World-Cup-20220715-0038.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gerardo Tata Martino</a>, who is not living the best of times, has never been able to win.
An incandescent controversy was unleashed on social media because Martino was captured in a photo in Argentina, months before <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-argentina-vs-mexico-a-sad-fifa-world-cup-tale-for-el-tri-20220401-0036.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the FIFA World Cup and with the Mexico National Team</a> immersed in a crisis of performance. What most inflamed the fans was that Tata was photographed chatting with fellow Argentinian, and Albiceleste manager, Lionel Scaloni.
The questioning of the Mexican fans was clear: <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mexican-national-team-insider-reveals-two-reasons-why-tata-martino-would-not-renew-after-qatar-2022-20220712-0031.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">what is the Mexico manager doing in Argentina</a> when the Liga MX is being held in that country, an opportunity he could take advantage of to see players who could solve the lack of efficiency in El Tri‘s play.This was motivated by Martino’s refusal to call up players from current two-time champion Atlas.
<h2>Argentina reacts to Mexican criticism of Tata Martino for his photo with Lionel Scaloni</h2>
Patriotism and a sense of belonging emerged in Argentina when TNT Sports journalist Yiyo Garcilazo defended his compatriot Gerardo Martino against the criticism he received in Mexico for being photographed with Lionel Scaloni. And he did so with a harsh blow to El Tri, pointing out their distance from the elite of world soccer, against whom they will compete in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-the-30-great-players-who-never-could-play-in-a-fifa-world-cup-20220713-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the FIFA World Cup.</a>
“If I were Tata, I would resign, what’s wrong with that, total stupidity. The problem is that in Mexico they think they have a national team that is there to win the World Cup every year; they think they have a super team.“, stated Garcilazo according to Record.
Unfortunately for the Mexico National Team, the statistics support what Garcilazo said, since despite being in the Top 5 of National Teams with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-the-longest-and-shortest-tenured-managers-who-will-coach-in-the-upcoming-fifa-world-cup-20220712-0034.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Cups</a> played, they have never advanced from the Quarter Finals. They have even had the curse of advancing to the Round of 16 only to be eliminated in the Round of 16 for the last 7 editions.

Mexico gets hard hit from Argentinian media after Tata Martino's polemic photo with Lionel Scaloni

Mexico gets hard hit from Argentinian media after Tata Martino's polemic photo with Lionel Scaloni - Bolavip US

In the horizon of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-teams-that-have-qualified-for-the-2022-fifa-world-cup-20211013-0023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the 32 National Teams qualified</a> for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-the-player-care-strategy-to-avoid-tragedies-on-the-matches-of-the-next-fIfa-world-cup-20220709-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Qatar 2022</a> is only to play this tournament, however, there are some, as in the case of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mexico-schedule-in-2022-dates-of-the-national-soccer-team-games-this-year-20220114-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mexico</a>, who have to start planning life after the FIFA World Cup, as it was leaked that their current coach Gerardo Martino would leave the position after the great soccer party at the end of the year.
Mexico is not living happy hours ahead of the World Cup, as the team is not in its best form. It is evident that Martino’s El Tri has a hard time facing top level rivals, as has been proven with the United States, Canada and even <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-argentina-vs-mexico-a-sad-fifa-world-cup-tale-for-el-tri-20220401-0036.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Argentina</a>, with whom they have a negative balance with Tata on the bench.
Above all, the poor showing against the Albiceleste is something that worries El Tri, as they will be one of the three opponents they will face in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-draw-results-here-are-the-definitive-fifa-world-cup-groups-20220401-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Qatar 2022</a>. The other two are Poland and Saudi Arabia, against whom they run the risk of breaking their tradition of qualifying to the Round of 16 for 7 consecutive World Cups (USA 1994 to Russia 2018).
<h2>Why would Gerardo Martino leave Mexico after Qatar 2022?</h2>
The new problem that the Mexico National Team would have to face would be to undertake the search for a new coach soon after Qatar 2022, because in the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-where-will-the-next-editions-of-the-fifa-world-cup-be-played-20220325-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 2026 FIFA World Cup</a> it will serve as host country along with the United States and Canada, so it will have to have a competitive team in order not to disappoint its fans.
According to Azteca Deportes insider David Medrano, the Argentinean coach would have two powerful reasons for not renewing his contract with El Tri after <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-alcohol-drinking-areas-at-the-world-cup-after-the-alleged-ban-of-doing-so-inside-the-stadiums-20220707-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Qatar 2022</a>, even if Mexico manages to surprise the world by achieving its greatest dream: advancing to the Quarter Finals.
Gerardo Martino’s first reason for leaving the Mexico National Team would be his health. After several surgeries on his right eye, he would like to rest to avoid major complications. The second reason for leaving El Tri without a coach after the upcoming <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-the-refined-technology-that-would-have-made-playing-the-fifa-world-cup-in-summer-possible-20220706-0046.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FIFA World Cup</a> is Martino’s family, as he would like to avoid work commitments in order to enjoy his granddaughter’s birth.

Mexican National Team insider reveals two reasons why Tata Martino would not renew after Qatar 2022

Mexican National Team insider reveals two reasons why Tata Martino would not renew after Qatar 2022 - Bolavip US

With <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-how-and-when-was-qatar-awarded-the-2022-fifa-world-cup-20220401-0048.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022</a> very close to being held, there are concessions that some National Teams are dangerous to make, such as not calling up their best players. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mexico-schedule-in-2022-dates-of-the-national-soccer-team-games-this-year-20220114-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mexico</a> is one of them, and its coach Gerardo Martino is still firm in dispensing with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/why-is-chicharito-hernandez-not-playing-for-mexico-in-the-last-2022-world-cup-qualifiers-games-20220322-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Javier Hernandez, Chicharito</a> until he does not comply with a request he made to call him up again.
The current <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-chicharito-sets-his-exit-price-if-any-liga-mx-team-wants-to-take-him-away-from-la-galaxy-20220222-0025.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LA Galaxy</a> striker last played for Mexico in September 2019, in a match against the USMNT at Metlife Stadium in New Jersey, which Martino’s team won 3-0. The first goal was scored by Hernandez, who was on the field for 87 minutes.
So far, Chicharito has scored 52 goals for El Tri in 108 appearances. This makes him a true legend as he is the all-time leading scorer for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/look-tata-martino-the-ideal-xi-of-mexican-players-in-the-mls-with-hector-herrera-and-chicharito-20220302-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mexican National Team</a>. He is also, along with Luis El Matador Hernandez, Mexico’s top scorer in World Cups with 4 goals.
<h2>Chicharito, out of the Mexican National Team</h2>
Many fans are wondering why Tata Martino has not called up Javier Hernandez again, despite the fact that the Galaxy striker has shown to be in good form by scoring goals consistently in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-rumors-gonzalo-higuain-to-retire-at-the-end-of-2022-says-his-father-jorge-20220404-0030.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLS this season. </a>And the answer seems to be because Hernandez himself has not wanted to.
It is well known that discipline is one of the values most appreciated by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-mexico-plan-b-to-replace-tata-martino-if-something-goes-wrong-on-concacaf-qualifiers-20220326-0033.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Martino</a> in his teams. Any player who does not obey his orders and exceeds the limits he has set for them will simply not be taken into account, regardless of his current form.
So in September 2019, just in the tour of matches against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/usmnt-schedule-in-2022-dates-of-the-us-mens-national-soccer-team-games-this-year-20220114-0028.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the USMNT</a> and Argentina, which Mexico held in the United States, it was leaked an indiscipline committed by some selected players, including Javier Chicharito Hernandez. Martino knew about it and immediately took action.

</div>
<h2>Martino’s condition forChicharitoreturn to Mexico National Team</h2>
According to the Mexican newspaperRécord, Chicharito Hernandez is clear that the only way to be considered again by Gerardo Martino is very simple: call Gerardo Martino, acknowledge his indiscipline and apologize for it. However, the former Real Madrid striker has decided not to do so until now, which is why he has not returned to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-mexico-preparation-plan-to-shine-in-the-upcoming-fifa-world-cup-20220331-0032.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">El Tri</a> since 2019.
With almost three years of absence, the chances of Javier Hernandez returning to Mexico are getting slimmer, as Martino seems to have already defined his group of players for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-date-and-time-of-the-fifa-world-cup-group-and-knockout-games-in-the-time-zone-of-your-country-20220201-0023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Qatar 2022</a>. Apparently, Chicharito has been satisfied with the 3 World Cups in which he participated and has no intention of talking to Tata about returning to his country’s national team.

Chicharito out of Mexico National Team for refusing to comply with this condition from Tata Martino - Bolavip US

The shadow of 2013 is chasing <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mexico-schedule-in-2022-dates-of-the-national-soccer-team-games-this-year-20220114-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mexico</a> again: in that year, the unbelievable happened, and El Trilost its superpower of winning almost every game held at the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mexico-will-give-five-year-stadium-bans-for-anti-gay-chants--20220118-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Azteca Stadium</a>.

<h2>The double danger for Mexico in itsmatch against Panama</h2>
Mexico has had really hard times on its last 4 games in the World Cup Qualifiers. Two defeats in a row, against the United States and Canada, by the end of 2021; then, ahard-fought win in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/jamaica-vs-mexico-date-time-and-tv-channel-in-the-us-to-watch-or-live-stream-free-2022-concacaf-world-cup-qualifiers-20220126-0051.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jamaica</a>, thanks to two late goals, and a draw with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mexico-vs-costa-rica-tv-channel-how-and-where-to-watch-2022-world-cup-qualifiers-20220129-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no goals vs Costa Rica</a> at the Azteca Stadium exemplify that Martino’s team is not in a good shape.
Currently, Panama is a way much harder rival than Jamaica or Costa Rica; ifEl Trihas suffered against the latter two, it is not crazy to conceive the chance of witnessing the third defeat in Mexican history at home in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/canada-vs-usmnt-date-time-and-tv-channel-2022-world-cup-qualifiers-20220127-0030.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Concacaf Qualifiers</a>.
What is worrying for Mexico is that a loss could not only impact the statistics books: Panama would toss it to the fourth spot in the standings, which would mean that Tata Martino’s boys would lose the chance to grab a direct flight to Qatar 2022. If this happens, againan Inter-continental playoff wouldbe the only way to cross the bridge into FIFA’s World Cup.

<h2>The second risk for Mexico if Panama defeats it</h2>
According to Fox Sports Mexico‘s journalist Fernando Cevallos, the Mexican Soccer Federation has already given <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mexico-2022-world-cup-qualifiers-roster-to-face-jamaica-costa-rica-and-panama-20220122-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gerardo Martino</a> an ultimatum: if his team loses against Panama at the Azteca Stadium he will be immediately fired.
Then, with only three more games left to be played in the Concacaf Qualifiers, the new Mexican coach would have a very complicated mission ahead. The same source, Fox Sports Mexico, shared that there are already contemplated candidates to take Martino’s job in case of disaster: former Mexican National coach Miguel PiojoHerrera at the top of the list, San Jose Earthquake‘s current coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/amidst-controversy-comparing-matias-almeyda-and-victor-manuel-vucetichs-chivas-tenures-20210906-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matias Almeyda</a>, Ricardo TucaFerretti, and former SD Huesca coach Ignacio Ambriz.
