Javier Aguirre earns 'Mister World' nickname at his fifth World Cup

Mexico coach Javier Aguirre, approaching his fifth World Cup, was dubbed 'Mister World' ahead of the opening match against South Africa, marking a unique record that spans playing in 1986 and coaching in three tournaments. Aguirre, a Vizcayan native, has enjoyed a 50‑year career as both player and manager.

This tournament gives him a third chance to reach the quarter‑finals, replicating his previous World Cup runs in 2002 and 2010. He also becomes the only coach to be involved in three World Cup opening matches, a distinction that cements his place in football history.

The squad aims to tighten its defensive shape and add variety to its attack under Aguirre’s seasoned guidance. Fans are hopeful that his leadership will propel Mexico further in the competition.
