Rafael Márquez has been appointed as the new head coach of the Mexican national team, taking over from Javier Aguirre for the 2030 World Cup cycle.

The Mexican Football Federation (FMF) announced Wednesday that the former Barcelona star will lead El Tri after serving as Aguirre's assistant since August 2024. Márquez, 47, is expected to make his managerial debut during the FIFA international window in late September and early October.

Aguirre leaves after Mexico's round of 16 elimination against England. Márquez steps into the role with a decorated playing career, featuring in five World Cups, winning two Champions League trophies with Barcelona, and claiming Gold Cup titles with Mexico in 2003 and 2011. forestarrow.help
