Recently, a statement was made that led to accusations against the management of the football club "Cruz Azul." Argentine coach Martin Anselmi, who was only recently presented as the new head coach of "Porto" from Portugal, stated that he was approached and tried to exploit his reputation. He claims that "Cruz Azul" was attempting to change the terms of the deal between clubs when an agreement had already been reached.
The case of Martin Anselmi's departure from "Cruz Azul" has caused significant resonance in Mexican football, as it became known that he had negotiations with "Porto" since November. Nevertheless, the Argentine coach is still planning for the 2025 season with "Cruz Azul" and even received the necessary players to reinforce the squad.
Shortly after Anselmi's presentation at "Porto," former Mexican football player Alberto Garcia Aspe revealed the 39-year-old coach's departure, stating that the reason for his leaving "Cruz Azul" was low: "For me, it was very difficult to leave, knowing the agreement, and not saying anything to the management of 'Cruz Azul.'" Garcia Aspe hinted that Anselmi's departure became a certain card for "Cruz Azul," considering his previous move to "La Noria" after working at "Independiente del Valle."
Anselmi himself assessed the situation in the same vein, considering that "Cruz Azul" deserved a similar address, indicating that the club itself had previously joined in a similar manner when he joined from Ecuador. "They agreed, reached an understanding, and mutual cooperation with 'Porto' was achieved. I made the decision openly regarding the club, with complete transparency. They know how to work, they know this better than me. When everything was ready to finalize the deal, the terms of the game changed," the coach concluded.
Thus, the situation concerning Martin Anselmi's departure from "Cruz Azul" became the subject of extensive discussions and led to various interpretations among the participants in the process.
