Mexico manager Jaime Lozano dismissed after disastrous Copa America showing

Canada

The Mexico federation announced Wednesday that it has dismissed Jaime Lozano as manager after the team failed to make it out of the group stage of the recently concluded Copa America.The FMF offered Lozano a lucrative deal to keep him in the program, but would have demoted him to an assistant coaching role until 2027 - and at that point he would re-take the reins to the program on a deal through 2030. The plan would have the team appoint an experienced manager in the interim to lead the 2026 World Cup efforts.He declined the offer.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Mexico defeated Jamaica in their opening match at this summer's tournament, but then fell to Venezuela and drew Ecuador to fall short of the knockout round.Lozano was appointed in 2023, where he won the CONCACAF Gold Cup with El Tri. Just one year on, though, he's now out of the job.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

“Jaime Lozano was offered, along with his coaching staff, a contract until 2030, in which during 2024-2026 they will accompany a more experienced head coach towards our World Cup," the federation said in a statement, "and later it would be Jaime himself who would retake the reins of head coach in the 2026-2030 process. After analyzing the proposal, Jaime Lozano informed us that he doesn’t wish to continue. We respect his decision.”

WHAT THE MEXICO FEDERATION SAID

El Tri will now be on the hunt for their fourth manager in two years. <a href="https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/40549686/mexico-coach-jaime-lozano-javier-aguirre" target="_self">ESPN</a> reports that Javier Aguirre is the frontrunner. He led El Tri in the 2002 and 2010 World Cups, and the 65-year-old could now be set for his third stint with the national team.
