Luis Fernando Tena Raises Concerns for Aguirre in Czechia-Guatemala Match

With just a week left before the 2026 World Cup kickoff, Czechia is fine‑tuning its preparations for its Group A opener. While Czechia will face South Korea, the group also includes Mexico and South Africa.

Opposite them is Guatemala, coached by Luis Fernando Tena, who is rebuilding the side after a heavy defeat to Algeria. Throughout the match the usual gap between the European and Central American teams vanished, as Guatemala displayed tactical order and aggressive pressing.

Tena’s showing has caught the attention of Mexico’s head coach Javier Aguirre, prompting questions about upcoming strategies.
