Víctor Vucetich Faces His Greatest Challenge Yet

In the 2024 Leagues Cup, the highly experienced coach Víctor Vucetich, already considered “Rey Midas” by the golden touch with the teams he has worked with, will face his greets challenge against Cruz Azul – the coach’s Achilles’ heel by history. With a long and successful career in teams such as León, Tigres, Puebla, Pachuca, Monterrey, and Guadalajara, Vucetich’s result against Cruz Azul is 16 wins, 22 losses, and only five draws.

In the last encounters, the coach performed slightly better, losing only once in the last five confrontations, among which was the Mazatlán against Cruz Azul, noteworthy for the annual tournament’s first matchday. Still, knowing how to excel in the playoffs’ most complicated phase, when the coach eliminated Cruz Azul, shows Vucetich’s capacity at great moments.

The two teams will square off once more, and the entire focus of the fan’s eyes will be on Vucetich to see if he can use his enormous know-how to pass his main historical rival in this tournament’s confrontation. Analysts expect a great tactical battle, where the aging coach will show nuance and tactical changes against a great Cru Azul, which has been known to be resistant anyways.
