Jaime Ordiales already has Juan Reynoso’s replacement for Cruz Azul

Although Reynoso proved that he had the credentials needed to be in La Máquina’s dugout the season he arrived by making Cruz Azul Liga MX champion for the first time in over 23 years, the enmity wasn’t appeased.

That’s why both are trying to continue their careers away from each other, and given the situation in Peru National Team, Reynoso could be living his last moments as Cruz Azul coach, as if Peru doesn’t play the 2022 FIFA World Cup, they would thank Ricardo Gareca for his services and move on.

Reynoso is the next on the list, as he’s impressed during his stint in Mexican soccer, both with Club Puebla and Cruz Azul, a move that will be applauded by Ordiales, who is already looking for a replacement, finding in Hugo Sánchez the perfect candidate.

What would it take for Hugo Sánchez to arrive in Cruz Azul?

According to reports, Sánchez already had conversations with Jaime Ordiales, as he doesn’t see with bad eyes retaking his coaching career in a club like Cruz Azul, especially with the competitive roster they currently have.

But in order to take over the team if Reynoso ends up leaving, Hugol will ask to have full freedom to strengthen the squad with the players he feels could benefit La Máquina to be a real contender for both Liga MX and CONCACAF Champions League.

Hugo Sánchez’s coaching career

After he retired with Atlético Celaya in 1997, he took over Pumas UNAM in 2000, where he coached for five years and made them the first team winning back-to-back Liga MX titles since the short tournaments were established in 1996.

His next big coaching gig was with Mexico National Team, where he was from 2006 to 2008, although was sacked after he couldn’t classify the U-23 squad to the 2008 Olympics. The only team he’s coached outside Mexico was UD Almería, in 2009 although he wasn’t very successful. Pachuca was the last team he coached, back in 2012.
