The Board of Directors of Monterrey Rayados is in the process of evaluating the future of head coach Martín Demichelis. According to a report by journalist Willie González, the Argentine coach had an intense conversation with the club's executives in which he expressed the need for a change in the squad considering that, in his own words, "his players are very bad".
During this conversation, Demichelis showed the team executives videos that evidenced the "conceptual flaws" of his players in the goals conceded. A critical point of this situation was the mysterious departure of Enzo Nicolás Pérez from River Plate, who joined Estudiantes de La Plata without providing explanations. In a gesture that sparked controversy, Pérez approached the bench during the match between River and Estudiantes to greet his former teammates, but the coach refused to shake his hand.
Given this scenario, the executives of Monterrey Rayados are tasked with evaluating the best decision to achieve an improvement in the team. Demichelis, for his part, distanced himself from responsibility, indicating that the real culprits of the club's poor performance were the professional players.
After being eliminated in the Concachampions against the Vancouver Whitecaps from the United States, Demichelis expressed his discontent by stating that he had given all players opportunities to advance in the phase, but unfortunately, the desired results were not achieved. This situation led to a rupture in the relationship between the coaching staff and the players, which sparked rumors about a possible departure of the coach.
It is worth noting that Demichelis experienced a similar situation when he was coaching River Plate, where a comment about the players' performance led to a deterioration in his relationship with the professional team. Despite a gesture of media commitment from the coach, his way of carrying out the greeting generated various criticisms. Additionally, in an internal conversation with the club's press, his statements caused a significant uproar that translated into a lack of confidence from the players, something that was evident both in Libertadores Cup matches and in the Professional Football League.
