Tras el fracaso en Catar 2022, México comienza – más lentamente de lo que uno quisiera – a dar los primeros pasos camino al Mundial de 2026, un proceso que debería estar marcado por la renovación y las inclusión de nuevos talentos.
Sin embargo, no faltan las voces que creen que el nuevo proyecto debe iniciarse mirando al pasado. Dicho de otro modo, el coro que busca el retorno de Javier Hernández a la selección nacional está de regreso.
México tiene toneladas de trabajo por delante. Después del fracaso en Catar, el Tri necesita renovarse y refundarse camino al Mundial de 2026, el cual se hará de manera conjunta con Canadá y Estados Unidos.
Con Gerardo Martino en el espejo retrovisor, el primer gran tema que la FMF debe resolver es la búsqueda un técnico idóneo para liderar el proceso. Si bien no se ha hablado públicamente de plazos, la lista de candidatos se alarga día a día.
After the Round of 16 there are no teams from Concacaf still competing at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Of the five confederations that competed in Qatar, Concacaf had the lowest number of victories with a measly three. None of the four teams finished with a winning record.
