By Jaume Lozano there a promising career ahead, After an encouraging start as the coach who won the bronze medal for Mexico at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, which led him to be singled out as a candidate to lead the Chivas, although for identity and trajectory, it could also be for Pumas, rivals who today face in a game of desperate.
Lozano owned a process that overcame the problems of the coronavirus pandemic, put together a solid team, and had the ability to choose the best among a nurturing generation of young Mexicans.
This would be the main stamp of the ‘Jimmy’ in case he had the opportunity to enter the relay, either in Chivas, where he knows well the leaders of the team, whom he led in the Olympic process.
Chivas has lacked tough hand and discipline, because he has the talent, but Vucetich has been questioned about the lack of character to run a team that suffers to handle matches.
This lack of results has left Vucetich in a compromised position. And after today’s visit to Pumas, will follow Pachuca and the Classic, three games that can define their future. Lozano, despite his little experience, seems a serious bet to enter the relay. It would take advantage of the momentum of his success with the Olympic Tri.
But why not think about directing Pumas? Lozano has a successful past as a player at UNAM, a ‘Made in CU’ that he immortalized by winning precisely the 2004 Final against Chivas.
Certainly the conditions in which Pumas finds themselves are more complicated than those of Chivas, as college students opted for an exit policy to seek economic benefits, and have gradually let go of important players who sheltered the younger ones.
Miguel Mejía Baró said it very clearly in his presentation as sporting director after the departure of Jesús Ramírez: “There are situations that have led to the team has been losing important values, in players who have been key players for the action of the Pumas team in recent seasons “.
And to this are added incongruous signings, of unknown players, without trajectory and without identity with the club.
Getting to Pumas would mean cutting back on the good process that Lillini had, who did very well, but after losing the final to the Lion the team was dismantled and they are now paying for that consequence. They released Mayorga, Vigón and González. Pumas ran out of spine.
Lozano would have fewer resources in Pumas than in Chivas, but the identity, the commitment to young people would be a good start in both projects, which today will have a desperate battle to get out of the background.
