Rafa Puente Jr. named Pumas manager; will he finally be successful in Liga MX?

Pumas are manager-less no longer. Hours ago, a press conference was held to officially present Rafael Puente Jr. as the club’s new manager for the Clausura 2023 season. He will replace former manager Andrés Lillini who was let go following the conclusion of the current Apertura 2022, where the club finished 16th overall, with a record of just 2W, 8D, 7L, amassing 14 points, far from where a club of this stature intends to be. Especially after making an investment in a player like Dani Alves to give you that extra push into the playoffs, not out of them.
