Diego Cocca has arrived at the Mexican national team and is ready to take on the challenge once and for all in terms of what is expected for the 2026 process. To do so, Cocca would already implement a strict disciplinary regime, similar to the one Gerardo Martino came to have.

In 2017, when Diego Cocca was at Racing de Avellaneda, he had a conflict with the player Brian Fernández, who had arrived late to the Argentine team's training session. After this, Cocca decided to remove him from the team, a drastic decision that was abided by the board.

This case demonstrates the kind of discipline that the Argentinean coach has, evidently, several people close to the club interceded for Brian Fernández, so that Diego Cocca would condone the punishment, something that the coach did under the vote of the group, since Cocca believes that harmony in the dressing room must prevail.

Which players may be in conflict with Cocca?

In the Mexican national team, since the arrival of Gerardo Martino and the incident in the United States that cost Chicharito Hernandez the possibility of staying in El Tri, there have been no other cases of indiscipline. In a press conference, Cocca pointed out that all players can make it to El Tri, but it will be discipline and work that will determine whether they can be in the national team.
