Despite the fact that Jaime Lozano, coach of the Mexican National Team, is sitting on a powder keg and that his management is under daily scrutiny, lThe reality is that within the group of Liga MX team owners, there is the idea of supporting the current project against all odds until the Copa América 2024, which will be played next June on North American soil.
As is known in advance, in national football being the technical director of the Tricolor It represents great complexity and is almost always a very hot potato. To the extent that, except for the Argentines Ricardo La Volpe and Gerardo Martino, as well as the Colombian Juan Carlos Osorio, they have been the only ones to finish their project from start to finish, which gives an idea of how complicated it is to stay in that position.
Obviously the complex thing for the management of Jaime Lozano and his predecessors in the position of national coach is that the television companies Televisa and TV Azteca are judge and party in the decisions of the Mexican team.
This represents that on the one hand they support and promote the National Team as a product and on the other, they have become over the years the most implacable judges of the coaching processes. As has happened with the projects of Javier Aguirre, Hugo Sánchez, Sven Goran Ericksoon, Enrique Meza, José Manuel de la Torre, Víctor Manuel Vucetich, Miguel Herrera, Juan Carlos Osorio, Gerardo Martino, Diego Cocca and now Jaime Lozano.
This factor, although it is denied, has weighed too much on the fate of the coaches who have directed the Mexican National Team in the last 24 years, but without forgetting that other strategists such as Miguel Mejía Barón, Bora Milutinovic, Manuel Lapuente and even La himself Volpe, experienced firsthand the pressure of directing the Mexican national team.
Under this panorama, in the two games against Panama in the semifinal and the winner between the United States and Jamaica, Jaime Lozano will have the scrutiny of those who rule in our national football, as well as the media and the fans.
But we insist, according to data collected by La Opinión, if the Nations League title is not won it will not cost the national strategist his job, unless a catastrophe happens against Panama and the Canalero team beats the Mexican team.
