Cruz Azul Faces Coach Departure Amid Transfer Talks

The Argentine Martín Anselmi has a complete agreement with Porto for his signing, which means that Cruz Azul must begin negotiations with the Portuguese to move forward with the coach's signing and also find options in the market to replace him as soon as possible. This situation has generated various reactions, including those from Cruz Azul's former coach, Ricardo Ferretti, who expressed his displeasure on an ESPN program regarding Anselmi's decision to leave the project at Noria unfinished.

"I sign and stand by what I say," Ferretti stated, visibly upset by Anselmi's imminent departure from Cruz Azul. Porto's management began talks with the coach in November 2024, reaching an agreement that materialized earlier this week. Porto is expected to pay five million dollars to take the coach.

Anselmi communicated to the management his desire to leave and go to Europe, which has caused a stir in the Liga MX transfer market. The situation has led the dragons to show interest in the strategist, reaching out to Noria to learn more about his contractual situation.
