Martino: It's always difficult for a national team to have a foreign manager

The El Tri coach says he understands the feeling of fans who would've preferred a Mexican manager but will work to deliver those fans joy

Mexico manager Gerardo "Tata" Martino says he understands why fans may have concerns about a foreign coach leading the national team but said there should be no worries about the commitment he and his staff have to El Tri.

The Argentine has led his own nation's national team but also coached Paraguay earlier in his career and took La Albirroja to their best-ever finish at a World Cup, making the quarterfinals in 2010.
