Martino is not completely out of the picture, the unusual reason why Tata won't leave Mexico
Argentine coach Gerardo Martino returned to Mexico but declined to make a statement
Gerardo Martino has stepped aside from the Mexican national soccer team after the resounding failure at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Mexico was eliminated in the first round after almost 40 years without losing at that stage. An unprecedented scenario for any Mexican fan.
For this reason, once the match between Mexico and Arabia ended, which left El Tri out of the group stage, the coach stated that he will no longer be in charge of the team and that there is no valid argument to even think that he can continue in charge of the Mexican team.

However, a peculiar reason has now been revealed as to why Martino, technically, is still coach of the Mexican team and has not yet completely left the national soccer team scene. In that sense, Tata is still coach of the Mexican team.
Is Gerardo Martino still in charge of El Tri?
According to journalist David Medrano, Gerardo Martino's contract expires in mid-December, which is when the 2022 World Cup in Qatar technically ends. For this reason, Gerardo Martino is still under active contract with the Mexican national team after the World Cup.
