The historic Brazilian technical director, Ricardo ‘Tuca’ Ferretti, could not hide his anger at the decision of Argentine Martín Anselmi to end his role as coach of the Cruz Azul Machine to accept an offer from Porto de Portugal that allows him to fulfill his dream of directing in the old continent with the aim of reaching the Champions League to raise the club’s competitive level.
Given this fact, the strategist decided to launch a harsh criticism against Anselmi for abandoning his man agreement as coach of the celestial team for the current Clausura 2025 tournament of the MX League and leaving the sports institution in limbo with just two days of this competition played. .
These statements were made by Tuca Ferretti during his participation in ESPN, where he considered that the coaches no longer fulfill their words as was done previously when comparing what happened with Fernando Gago, who also left the Chivas Rayadas de Guadalajara last season in order to fulfill his dream of being in charge of Boca Juniors in Argentina.
“Where the hell is this? Where? Does a man’s word no longer exist, does it not exist today or am I out of date at 70 years old?he stated in his statements when analyzing the situation that Liga MX has been experiencing in the last two tournaments.
Ricardo Ferretti also maintained that he received a large number of offers from teams while he was in charge of a club; Despite this, he rejected each of them because he had a commitment to lead the team he had signed with to exploit all their sporting qualities in order to turn them into champions.
“I rejected teams while I was under contract and they spoke to me and were better than what I had”he added, highlighting that his word with the clubs’ board was much more important than monetary gain.
Martín Anselmi’s decision to sign with Porto represents a hard blow for the Cruz Azul Machine, who hoped to maintain a good level in this Clausura 2025 tournament of the Liga MX to be able to qualify for the Liguilla and fight for the trophy; They are now searching for a new coach who can take charge of the bench to meet their objectives.
