Club Tijuana is going from one Argentine to another, announcing Thursday it has hired Diego Cocca to fill its head coaching vacancy.
The opening was left when Eduardo Coudet left the team without completing his first tournament in charge and Xolos finished out the season with an interim. Coudet had managed Rosario Central prior to moving north to take over for Miguel Herrera.
Former Mexico manager Herrera was able to lead Tijuana to back-to-back seasons atop the regular season table, but his exit and the departure of stars like Aviles Hurtado and Guido Rodriguez with him, were too much for the team to overcome.
