Márquez Named Mexico Head Coach For 2030

The 47-year-old former Barcelona star served as Aguirre's assistant from August 2024 until Mexico's recent round of 16 elimination by England. The FMF confirmed this is part of an orderly transition plan established since 2024 to ensure continuity and development for the national team's upcoming commitments. Márquez is expected to make his managerial debut during the FIFA international window in late September and early October.

Aguirre expressed his happiness with Márquez's growth, noting he is 'more than qualified' for the role. Márquez brings a decorated playing career that includes five World Cup appearances, a Confederations Cup win, Gold Cup titles, and Champions League triumphs with Barcelona. He has previous coaching experience with Barcelona's reserve team, where he managed 82 matches over two seasons. sports24.club
