Cruz Azul's coach, Martín Anselmi, has generated a scandal by expressing his intention to leave the team just hours before Matchday 3 in Liga MX. This decision has faced harsh criticism due to the manner in which he has handled his departure to the Old Continent.
Until recently, Anselmi was actively involved in the club's transfer negotiations and was a key figure in building the team. However, his sudden departure has raised questions about his commitment and professional ethics.
José Ramón Fernández, a renowned sports commentator, expressed his dissatisfaction with the situation on social media, comparing Anselmi's attitude to that of other mercenary footballers who abandon projects halfway for personal interests.
It has been revealed that conversations between Anselmi and Porto began in November 2024, coinciding with a period of poor performance for the team. The Argentine coach reached an agreement with Porto and then communicated his decision to leave Cruz Azul just hours before the start of the current Matchday 3.
The news of Anselmi's imminent departure has generated surprise and discontent among Cruz Azul supporters, as well as in part of the Mexican press. It is highlighted that the coach's representation agency attempted to manage his transfer since the previous summer, finally reaching an agreement with Porto in November.
Amidst the criticism and controversy, Martín Anselmi's figure has been questioned, and he has been labeled a traitor and a liar for the way he handled his departure from the team. Cruz Azul supporters and Anselmi's critics are openly expressing their disapproval of this situation.
