MEXICO CITY : Mexico have appointed Argentine Diego Cocca as head coach on a deal until 2026 following the exit of Gerardo Martino, the country's soccer federation announced on Friday.
"Diego showed his interest in coaching the national team and we are happy to unveil him," said Rodrigo Ares de Parga, Mexico's Director of National Teams. The appointment comes a day after Mexican league side Tigres UANL, who Cocca joined just three months ago, announced the termination of the coach's one-year contract after he told the club he had decided to take the Mexico job.
"To have the chance to help Mexico grow its national team is a privilege and an opportunity that I could not miss."
