Antonio Mohamed leaves door open to Argentina: “Return draws nearer”

Antonio Mohamed is going through the most successful period of his coaching career, but even in the midst of his extraordinary present with Toluca, the Argentine manager is already starting to look back toward his home country.

During an interview with TyC Sports in Argentina, “Turco” admitted that he misses his homeland and made it clear that he wants to return to Argentine soccer someday, although he avoided setting a date or revealing what kind of project might convince him.

“I miss everything. But there’s less and less time left before I return. I can see myself coming back to Argentine soccer, and I long for that to happen. At some point, it will. You have to wait for the right moment, and when the opportunity comes, I’m open to any team in Argentine soccer except one.”

Mohamed does not want to force his return

The coach made it clear that he has no intention of rushing an exit from Mexico. Mohamed prefers to wait for the right project to appear and, in the meantime, enjoy the extraordinary moment he is experiencing with Toluca.

The only exception he mentioned regarding Argentine clubs sparked speculation about which team he would not be willing to manage. People around him usually interpret that reference as an allusion to River Plate, although Mohamed did not publicly mention the name.

For now, the manager is clear that his priority is to continue enjoying his time with the Red Devils.

“It’s the best moment of my career”

Despite acknowledging his desire to return to Argentina, Mohamed said he is fully satisfied with his present in Mexico.

“I’m doing very well at the club, very happy, this is the best moment of my career, and I’m enjoying it. We’ve won six titles in a year and a half, everything there is to win. It’s something unexpected, but when the good times come, you have to enjoy them and stretch them out as much as possible.”

The statement reflects the moment the Argentine is going through, having turned Toluca into one of the leading teams in Mexican soccer.

A historic spell with Toluca

Since arriving at the Red Devils, Mohamed has assembled a collection of titles that has placed him as the most successful coach in the club’s history, according to the tally presented by the source.

His résumé in Mexico also includes championships with Tijuana, América, and Monterrey, cementing him as one of the most successful foreign coaches in Liga MX.

Now, as he looks to extend his winning cycle with Toluca, Mohamed also sent a signal about his future: Argentina remains in his plans, and the return he so badly wants may be getting closer and closer.
