Rafa Márquez prepares for his first major test with Mexico as El Tri’s new era begins to take shape
The Mexican National Team’s new era is beginning to take shape after the 2026 World Cup. Rafa Márquez appears to have his first challenges on the bench lined up, with some unusual venues and several details still pending.
El Tri’s new era begins to take shape
The Mexican National Team is beginning to plan its return to international action following its participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The new process will be led by Rafael Márquez, who has already been announced as Javier Aguirre’s successor and could take charge of his first matches with El Tri during the September international window.
Although several details still need to be confirmed, two South American national teams have emerged as Márquez’s possible first opponents as Mexico coach.
Rafa Márquez shapes his coaching staff for Mexico’s new era
Rafa Márquez has already been officially announced through the Mexican National Team’s platforms, while his presentation to the media is reportedly scheduled for August.
The members of his coaching staff are also expected to be revealed during the event. The names mentioned include Juan Manuel Lillo and Pol Lorente, who worked alongside Javier Aguirre during the World Cup cycle.
Márquez will therefore take on the biggest challenge of his coaching career, with the mission of rebuilding the team, expanding the pool of available players and developing a project capable of competing during the next World Cup cycle.
