After the farce of hiring Rafael Dudamel, a Venezuelan coach, Club Necaxa chose a coach who had already worked for the Mexico national team.
Bottom overall in the Apertura 2023 with just two points gained, Team Rayos del Club Necaxa has reached an agreement with a young Mexican coach who has a long career in the MX league and also in the Mexico national team.
The Rayos, led by Venezuelan Rafael Dudamel, failed to win a single game in either Liga MX or the League Cup.
In Liga MX, Club Necaxa has two points, putting them last in the competition table. They also failed to win a single game in the League Cup, as they were beaten by two MLS teams, Dallas FC and Charlotte FC.
The new manager of Club Necaxa, with a past in the Mexico national team
Eduardo Fentanes will become the new coach of Club Necaxa, a project that looks likely to be long-term as the Mexican coach wants to reactivate the core of the Aguascalientes side.
Eduardo Fentanes, who never made his professional debut, worked for the Mexico national team during the Ricardo La Volpe era and was one of the assistants who analyzed the teams he would face.
Mexico coach Eduardo Fentanes arrives in charge of the last tournament at Club Santos, which he left two days before the end of the tournament to make way for the arrival of Uruguayan coach Pablo Repetto.
