Gerardo “Tata” Martino recognized that they had to prioritize the results over the performance during the Qualifying stage, as they needed to ensure their presence in Qatar before worrying about anything else, and now that they got it, they will try to improve their level on the friendly games that they already started to play.

But even if the Argentine coach knows that the team needs to improve their level if they want to have a worthy participation in Qatar, he already took a decision regarding his future in front of the Mexican national team.

 

He won’t stay for the 2026 World Cup

For now, Martino is under contract with El Tri until December, and even if he was considered by the Mexican Football Federation to remain on the position for at least another World Cup cycle, he already decided to leave once Qatar 2022 is over, according to reports from El Universal.

Although some of the movements that the Argentine coach is currently doing points towards a long-term project, the truth is that he’s just looking to leave the generational change that El Tri needs already started, so that the next coach doesn’t have a hard time finding new players.

The FMF knows that they can’t stop him from leaving, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t thought about his replacement, and according to the source, they will offer the job to Diego Cocca, given that he helped Atlas FC to win back-to-back Liga MX titles after a 71-year drought without a championship.
