Rafael Márquez’s Spot on Mexico Squad Uncertain as Antonio Mohamed Gains Momentum

Following the 2026 World Cup, Rafael Márquez’s candidacy for the Mexico national team remains uncertain, while Antonio Mohamed emerges as a strong coaching contender. League owners and federation debates signal a decision process between the two.

Mohamed’s tactical vision and international experience align with the federation’s search for fresh direction. Márquez still commands respect for his past achievements, but concerns over his health and recent form add risk.

The Mexican Football Federation aims to balance stability and innovation as it moves toward a final appointment.
