Herrera’s Atletico move puts Mexico international in European prominence

A little more than six years after the Rosarito, Baja California native left the comforting shores of Liga MX and Pachuca for the competition and lore of European football with FC Porto in Portugal, Hector Miguel Herrera is on the move again.

Over 200 games, 35 goals and 35 assists later at the Estádio do Dragão, where Herrera lifted a league title, supercups, played Champions League football and enjoyed a myriad of success and stability simoutaneously representing the Mexican national team, Herrera leaves as one of the most respected and established Porto players as he heads to Madrid to join the 10x La Liga and 3x Europa League champs, Atletico.
