The Mexican national team has suffered from stagnation in recent years.
At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar the team won just once in three games under coach Tata Martino and failed to advance out of group play, its worst performance on the world stage in more than four decades. During this summer’s Copa América, Mexico’s results were the same with Mexico, this time under Jimmy Lozano also exiting in the first round.
So with the 2026 World Cup, which Mexico will host alongside the U.S. and Canada, less than two years away, the team is starting over again by bringing Javier Aguirre back as technical director.
