Mexico Coach Diego Coca Leaves Position

The Mexican Football Federation announced today, Monday, that Diego Coca, coach of the national team, has left his position. National teams director Rodrigo Ares de Parga also departed less than a week before the start of the Gold Cup of the North, Central America, and Caribbean Football Association (CONCACAF). This announcement comes a day after Mexico's victory over Panama, securing bronze in the CONCACAF Nations League, and following a semifinal loss to the United States, which won the title. The Mexican Federation indicated that Jaime Lozano, who led the Under-23 team to a bronze medal at the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, will take charge temporarily. The federation stated in a release, "We thank Rodrigo and Coca for their work and dedication during this period, and we wish them the best in the future."
