Javier ‘Chicharito Hernandez He showed his doubts on Tuesday about the current of opinion that maintains that the next coach of the Tri, after the failure in Qatar 2022 of the Argentine ‘Tata’ Martino, must be a Mexican coach.
“Oh, how we love handling a narrative and promoting people… Look, I’ve been a foreigner in a country for 15 years and I wouldn’t like it if they didn’t give me an opportunity to get a job because I’m a foreigner. Here I am a foreigner in the US .UU and I see how they take me into account”, affirmed the forward in the ‘Media Day’ of the MLS.
“Of course I am in favor of Mexican and talented people. But here what is best for us is a person who arrives and helps, who can add, regardless of nationality,” he added.
The forward reinforced his arguments citing successful examples with the selection of Mexican and non-Mexican coaches. “In 2006 we loved the process and it was an Argentine coach (Ricardo La Volpe), in 2014 it was a Mexican coach (Miguel ‘el Piojo’ Herrera) and we loved everything that happened in that World Cup. Enough of these novels, I think We have to unite, whether Mexican or not, “he reflected.
This opinion of Chicharito came hours after his compatriot Alan Pulido, from Sporting Kansas City, clearly bet on a name for the bench of the Mexican team. “If I had to choose one (…), ‘el Piojo’ I think he is an ideal coach. Apart from being a Mexican, he can do things very well. Already with World Cup experience, with the titles he has had at professional in his career, I think it would be very useful for the national team”, said Pulido.
