<h2>Diego Cocca is in the race to be Mexico’s national team coach</h2>
A few weeks ago, there seemed to be only three possible candidates to be in charge of Mexico: Marcelo Bielsa, Guillermo Almada and Miguel Herrera. Then, in the last days, Bielsa’s name has been on and off. So, as a consequence, many believed that Almada or Herrera would be the chosen one.
However, after the Mexican Federation announced a newcommittee to make the decision, Diego Cocca is a new and very surprising candidate. Undoubtedly, Cocca has all the credentials to take the job. Two-time champion with Atlas and the best paid coach in Liga MX after signing for Tigres UANL.
Diego Cocca knows perfectly Liga MX and all the players in Mexico. That’s one of the requirements many fans believe is crucial to have success in the 2026 World Cup at home. So, the final decision is in the hands of the newest committee. At this moment, Cocca is now a candidate, Marcelo Bielsa might be be back in it and, Guillermo Almada and Miguel Herrera remain aspossibilities.

So, after the failure, Gerardo Martino’s contract wasn’t extended as coach of the National Team and Mexico are looking for the man in charge of the biggest project ever: the 2026 World Cup. It’s important to remember that Mexico would be host alongside Canada and the United States.
The members of the Mexican Federation are on a major crossroad. Trust the team to a coach proved in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Supercomputer-predicts-Liga-MX-Clausura-2023-winners-20230106-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Liga MX</a> or try to splash a big name available in the market. That’s why Marcelo Bielsa was in front of the race to coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mexico-25-best-players-of-all-time-20221103-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mexico</a>. However, an incredible reason has left him out of the position.
<h2>Why Marcelo Bielsa won’t be the coach for Mexico?</h2>
The reason is a never ending struggle for power among two groups inside the Mexican Federation. According to a report by journalist David Faitelson, Marcelo Bielsa said “yes” to Jesus Martinez, the leader of Grupo Pachuca. This group, led by Martinez’s family, owns teams like Pachuca and Leon. They have been very successful.
However, there’s another group in the Mexican Federation trying to go in a different direction. So, instead of agreeing with Grupo Pachuca, these club presidents have two names in sight: Guillermo Almada and Miguel Herrera. Considering this group is closer to the man who makes the biggest decisions for soccer in Mexico, Emilio Azcarraga, Marcelo Bielsa is out of the race.
Since many years ago, Grupo Pachuca haven’t agreed in a lot of major decisions with Emilio Azcarraga, owner of Club America and the man with the television rights for Mexico’s National Team. It’s a constant battle for power. But, as it’s historically proven, Azcarraga most definitely would have the last word. If Marcelo Bielsa is not the coach proposedby his group, then Marcelo Bielsa won’t arrive to Mexico. He gave the word to Grupo Pachuca, the antagonist of the other presidents.
