The reason why Hugo Sanchez did not join Cruz Azul

Before the Uruguayan Diego Aguirre appeared on the map as the strongest candidate to take over the Cruz Azul bench, Hugo Sánchez and Ricardo Ferretti sounded like the clearest options to arrive at La Noria. But today the Pentapichichi has revealed his future and it has to do with the Celestes.

The former soccer player and current sports commentator revealed what the future holds for him and in an interview with Marca Claro, he explained a little of what has happened on the subject of whether or not he will coach Cruz Azul, now that Juan Reynoso has been dismissed.

"I have not received an official call, if the call comes, we will surely reach an agreement in one way or another, whether it is Cruz Azul or another team. I don't rule out Spain, Europe, practically anywhere in the world", stated the former Pumas coach, who shone as a player, but it hasn't been the same in his career as a coach, after winning the twice championship with the Universitarios.

Reveals he was on the verge of joining Cruz Azul

Although he has made it clear that this time no phone has rung from La Noria, in previous years it has, that does not mean that he still feels 100% ready to lead from the bench, whether it be the Cementeros or another team.

"What I have enjoyed most in my life has been playing (soccer), and after playing what I enjoy the most since due to my age I can no longer play, everything is already crunching me, is the stage of being a coach. I will retire when I believe that my age no longer allows me to withstand the stress, the pressure and that I know how to handle the situation, I still feel good and that is why I was on the verge of joining Cruz Azul", he added.

How many teams has he managed?

El Macho has spent a decade without stepping on a team's bench, as he assures that his family has come first, but his career was active from 2000 to 2012, both in Liga MX and in Spain.
