The Monterrey bench could be in for a major shake-up following the dismissal of Domènec Torrent, and one name that has started to gain traction is that of Argentine strategist Martín Anselmi. He is already a free agent. Various reports indicate that the Monterrey board is seriously considering his profile, a situation that would open the door for a new technical staff with a clear idea of play and institutional development. In this context, Anselmi's profile is attractive due to his modern style, group management skills, and recent experience in South American football. His recent departure from Botafogo would facilitate any negotiation with the Argentine coach, which has increased the media buzz around his name.
Could Iván Alonso also join Monterrey? The interest is not limited to the bench, as there has also been the possibility of bringing in Iván Alonso as a sporting director, which would be a strategic move to restructure from the ground up. The Monterrey board's intention would be to replicate a formula that has yielded results in other scenarios: a sporting director with control over transfer planning, accompanied by a coach aligned with that vision. The Anselmi-Alonso duo has worked together before at Cruz Azul, which would facilitate the implementation of a shared philosophy and a medium-term project with clear objectives. Although there is no official confirmation or closed negotiations at the moment, the current context of the club, combined with the pressure to get results, is making these rumors gain more and more strength.
Anselmi's possible arrival would be controversial due to the way he left Cruz Azul, recalling that he resigned from the team overnight to coach Porto in Portugal.
Almeyda, another option It is worth noting that in addition to Anselmi, another name that has started to be mentioned insistently is that of Matías Almeyda, who was recently dismissed from Sevilla FC. The Argentine has been on Monterrey's radar on previous occasions, so his candidacy also looks like a serious option among the possibilities to lead this new project.
