Perez is not the problem, the real culprit for El Tri's failure, but the FMF protects him

The resounding failure of the Mexican national team in the Pre-Olympic Games in Honduras 2022 is already beginning to generate various consequences and accusations within the Mexican soccer federation. In other words, it is not only coach Luis Pérez who is being blamed for Mexico's elimination at the hands of Guatemala.

Who is truly responsible for the failure of the Mexican Under-20 National Team?

For journalist David Faitelson, Gerardo Martino is one of the main culprits of this type of failure. It is worth remembering that the coach has always been criticized for not making the right generational change during his time in charge of Mexico's senior national team. The truth is that rejuvenating "El Tri" and making demands on new talent has never been a priority for the Argentinean.

Despite his major failings, Gerardo Martino has the full backing of Yon de Luisa, who aims to prove that Martino's appointment has not been a complete failure in the Mexican national team and would keep both Tata and Luis Perez in charge of Mexico's U-20 team, according to TUDN.

Will Martino continue for 2026?

Gerardo Torrado, director of national teams, commented that his idea is to keep Martino in charge of the national team at least until the next World Cup. However, much will depend on the performance of El Tri during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. A presentation that is already worrying for many fans considering the results obtained during the Mexican team's last presentations.
