Tuca Ferretti reveals why the Mexican NT coaching job isn’t as attractive

Despite his status as one of the greatest head coaches (if not the greatest) to ever coach in Mexico, Tigres head coach Ricardo “Tuca” Ferretti has never accepted the Mexican National Team head coaching position. He has acted as interim head coach for Mexico three different times (1993, 2015, 2018), but was never quite convinced of making the move permanent. What makes things more interesting is considering the amount of success he’s had in Liga MX, especially with his current club, one can’t help but picture a perfect fit between the two parts. The reason for this is simple; his career in Mexico began back in 1977 and hasn’t left since.
