The veteran coach, who took over to stabilize a team in transition, has faced mounting criticism following a series of underwhelming results.<\/p>\n<p><span>Mexico won the Gold Cup earlier this summer, but wants to make a deep run at the World Cup in 2026.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-b1ca39d9>FMF president Ivar Sisniega defended Aguirre\u2019s work and dismissed any talk of change on the bench, insisting that the federation remains confident in the long-term plan. Mexico is coming off a 4-0 loss to Colombia and draws against Japan, South Korea, and Ecuador.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-b1ca39d9>&#8220;Javier has created a great atmosphere within the team and transmitted the level of commitment he expects from his players,&#8221; Sisniega said. &#8220;Things are on the right track. We need patience. It\u2019s a process, and he must continue defining the lineup that will reach the World Cup. There are still several key dates ahead.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-b1ca39d9>Sisniega highlighted that Aguirre\u2019s leadership has been essential in restoring unity and focus inside the locker room.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-b1ca39d9>&#8220;He\u2019s been fundamental for this team,&#8221; the FMF president said. &#8220;He\u2019s built a positive environment and has the full trust of the players. We believe he\u2019s going in the right direction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-b1ca39d9>Looking toward the future, Sisniega also noted that some young prospects from the 2023 U20 World Cup could begin transitioning into the senior setup, though most are being developed with the 2030 World Cup in mind.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-b1ca39d9>&#8220;We all saw the great quality of that generation.
