Rayados president ‘Tato’ Noriega is said to be in the middle of a team rebuild. After letting go of Vucetich and assistant de Nigris after their sad Clausura 2023 exit to the hands of Tigres, this season was Funes Mori’s turn to go. The interesting part here, however, is that the striker was the one who forced his way out; not the other way around.
It’s rumored Noriega has defined a certain player character type and identified the players and coaches who no longer fit the description who can help win the club championships rather than shy away in the big moment, as they’ve done so frequently of late.
