Márquez Named Mexico Coach For 2030 World Cup

The Mexican Football Federation (FMF) announced Wednesday that 47-year-old Márquez will take over as head coach following Aguirre's resignation after Mexico's 3-2 loss to England in the round of 16. The appointment is part of an orderly transition plan that had been in place since 2024.

Márquez, who served as Aguirre's assistant since August 2024, has one of the most decorated resumes in Mexican football history. As a player, he featured in five World Cups, won the 1999 Confederations Cup, and claimed Gold Cup titles in 2003 and 2011. He also won two Champions League trophies and four La Liga titles during his legendary stint at Barcelona. Márquez is expected to make his managerial debut during the FIFA international window in late September and early October. toffler.lol
