The Argentine coach Martín Anselmi has reached an agreement with Porto to take the position, but the negotiations with Cruz Azul have not been fully closed yet. The relationship between the Mexican club's management and Anselmi has deteriorated, as the way the situation was handled was not to La Noria's liking. The Argentine has refused to hand over the institutional cell phones and has attempted to take parts of the software that contains training and player data.
Journalist Cesar Caballero from ESPN reported that Anselmi will take part of the software that contains relevant information for the team. On the other hand, the coach's technical staff has refused to return the cell phones provided by the club, leading to a strong dispute within the institution. This situation has been compared by fans to past cases, such as Fernando Gago's sudden departure from Chivas and the controversy with Real Madrid regarding the air conditioning taken to Argentina.
Despite progress in negotiations, Martín Anselmi's departure from Cruz Azul has not yet materialized. It has been reported that the coach has reserved plane tickets for tonight to Portugal, with a stopover in Madrid. Anselmi is expected to sign a contract with Porto and start working with the team immediately. The story behind Martín Anselmi's departure from Cruz Azul seems far from its conclusion.
