Overview
- The federation’s national teams director Duilio Davino said Márquez has signed to lead El Tri once Mexico’s 2026 World Cup run ends under a contract that runs to 2030.
- Márquez is currently Javier Aguirre’s assistant and is a former Mexico captain with 147 caps and five World Cups plus bench experience at Barcelona Atlètic and in Spain’s youth ranks.
- Davino said roughly 80% of the future staff is set and named Andrés Guardado as a possible assistant, while other reported names remain unconfirmed.
- To smooth the changeover, Davino outlined plans to open camp with home‑based players and to visit European clubs to seek early releases for Mexico internationals.
- FMF framed the move as a continuity plan designed to avoid the usual post‑World Cup coaching vacuum and to guide a generational transition into Nations League, Gold Cup and 2030 qualifying.
