Javier Aguirre, who is departing his role as Mexico’s national team coach, says he leaves with pride after the team’s recent progress. According to reports, Aguirre points to Mexico’s strongest World Cup showing in about 40 years as a key achievement during his tenure. He also uses the moment to back former captain Rafa Marquez, saying Marquez is ready to continue the rebuilding process for the national squad. The coverage frames Aguirre’s remarks as an endorsement of a transition in leadership rather than a critique of the team’s direction, emphasizing continuity after the World Cup run. While details about specific plans for the squad are limited in the available accounts, the shared theme across reports is that Aguirre views the World Cup performance as a foundation for the next phase. The reports also agree that Marquez’s appointment is expected to focus on further developing and reshaping Mexico’s roster following recent momentum.
