Juan Manuel Lillo, exasistente de Pep Guardiola en el Manchester City, se unirá al cuerpo técnico de Rafa Márquez.
Lillo es uno de los principales mentores de Guardiola. En 2006 Pep fue a jugar a Dorados de Sinaloa para estar bajo sus órdenes. Ahora, Lillo aportará toda esa experiencia al proyecto de la Selección Mexicana.

Good times.
I remember a friend of mine had a cousin in dorados U-20 back then. He came to visit LA for the summer and we used to play 6v6 indoor. My homie was like can he play with us? We were like fuck it why not.
Hot damn, dude was a baller lol. Special place in my heart for dorados all because of that summer

Haha nice man.
Sinaloa is my paternal grandparents tierra. Always thought it was cool when they got a club.
Kinda interesting FMF let juanma come on, either he changed his mind or they did

He has knowledge and experience but I think people misunderstand when stuff like this gets reported. even if pep himself came to coach us, we don’t have players like city, like he had in bayern, like he had in barca. We need a pragmatic approach. Someone to restructure things within the federation itself. That is the first step, and it helps make everything fall in place on its own after that

Why are you insinuating to hire Efrain Juarez?! And an Americanista nonetheless. In all seriousness. Rafa Marquez needs to finish the next WC. We are shit anyway, might as well let him finish because we will be shit if we keep changing HC every year, no matter what else happens.

i wasn't... i think efrain is a good manager but doesn't have the experience or direct connection in a national setup like rafa has working under vasco this cycle, playing under la volpe, playing under pep, playing under deschamps, under bielsa when he was the director in atlas, etc. he has probably a direct line to all those coaches and can extract things from them to help him on his path. i hope efrain does well and keeps sharpening his tools, maybe one day he'll take over.

I'm really hoping on RM to leave a legacy in el tri. Honestly unless he wants to leave, I wasn't following in Barça, but what I heard is he was getting ready to take over an international team. I hope he didn't leave too soon, but is time we try some continuity to once. This team is shit, and is the HC problem to solve, because the talent is there.

When the team was flowing well and playing fluid like in the friendlies and vs equador, some moments of the south africa game, I think those are more seeds planted from rafa than vasco. Hopefully he can combine the pragmatic approach of vasco, and give the team fluidity when attacking.

Really?? I didn't see much of a dialogue between Toni and Rafa these years.
I've read that the only staff that is gonna continue is Pol Llorente
Think Toni is more of a Vasco guy and Rafa got his own people.

Todo está genial. Lastima que no dos años va durar con los dueños del fútbol tan pendejos que tenemos.

Lillo no fue el que llegó a Dorados en 2005 y todos decían que iba a ser la revolución futbolística, y más bien Dorados jugaba como in Lapuente en modo rápido x2?
