After Anselmi's departure, Amaranto Perea expressed his opinion that no one can be above the club, highlighting the importance of the institution over individuals. Regarding Efraín Juárez, the coach has demonstrated his ability to lead, according to Perea.
The draw against Puebla in matchday 3 created urgency for Cruz Azul to finalize a deal with a new coach. Efraín Juárez has been contacted by the team and showed interest in the project presented for the current tournament. They are currently at a crucial point to decide between Alonso or Juárez as the coach of the cement makers.
Cruz Azul aims to maintain the continuity of its sports project, considering Diego Alonso and other names for the position. However, the management leans towards Efraín Juárez's proposal. In the upcoming matches, the team will face Necaxa, Tijuana, and Pachuca, looking to earn points and improve their standing in the table.
Efraín Juárez, who is currently in Spain, would return to Mexico if the deal to coach Cruz Azul is finalized. His experience and success in the Colombian League have caught the attention of the team's management. In addition to Juárez, Uruguayan strategist Diego Alonso is also considered for the position, given his history in Pachuca and Monterrey.
After Anselmi's move to Porto, Vicente Sánchez was in charge of Cruz Azul in the last match. The management is in search of a new coach to compete for the title, after being eliminated in the semifinals by América, their main rival. At this moment, the light blue club is facing a crucial stage in selecting the new head coach, with Efraín Juárez as one of the candidates on the considered list.
