Even if he wins the title with Pachuca, they leak why Almada could not be El Tri's new coach
The main reason why Almada may not be Mexican national team new coach after all
Guillermo Almada has done it and seems to be on his way to winning the title with Pachuca. The team defeated Toluca in the first leg of the Liga MX final with an impressive 5-1 away win. The season with the tactician at the helm has been so outstanding that the coach is already being touted as a possible replacement for Gerardo Martino.
If anything is evident in Pachuca's success, it is the hand of Guillermo Almada and his work with the members of the squad. The coach has been able to put together a team compact enough to try to achieve the objectives of the current season. However, with the Mexican Federation's imminent interest in offering him the national team job, there is a big reason that conditions this possibility.

The dispute between Alejandro Iragorri and Jesús Martínez for the control of Mexican soccer is already splashing inside the national team and its environment. According to journalist Miguel Angel Arizpe, Iragorri would be the main factor that would stop Almada's arrival, due to the fact that he comes from his rival Pachuca Group, a direct competitor of Orlegi Group, which is managed by the aforementioned businessman.
Is there any conflict between Almada and Iragorri?
At the time, when Guillermo Almada left Club Santos, he had a strong argument with the owners of the team, among them, Alejandro Iragorri, so that despite his good results in the team, he was dismissed from his functions, according to Miguel Arizpe. Since then, the Pachuca group has supported the coach and is now very close to winning the Liga MX.
