The Mexico national team enters a new era on Saturday when it faces Colombia in the first game with manager Rafael Márquez at the helm.
The legendary center back takes over his first senior managerial position, after serving as Javier Aguirre’s assistant for El Tri for the past two years. Márquez inherits a team coming off a dream run in the 2026 World Cup, with fan support at an all-time high. Expectations are even higher entering the 2030 cycle, and he’ll be obliged to deliver instantly.
