With rumors surfacing yesterday that Freddy Juarez is a target for Liga MX side Puebla, my curiosity was well and truly piqued.
It’s not a rumor you hear everyday — an American coach being targeted by a Liga MX club. It’s a bit novel. It’s also indicative of something I suspect might sometimes be overlooked here.
Freddy Juarez has been surprisingly impressive in his first top-flight role.
Now, that doesn’t mean he’s been perfect as a coach. He clearly has things he needs to work on. He, himself, has said as such. He’s talked about how his substitution patterns haven’t always been great, and he has shown a willingness to work on those elements of his game.
