Ex-Sporting boss could face Paulinho as rival in Mexico | OneFootball

Pedro Caixinha, former assistant coach of José Peseiro at Sporting, is a potential candidate to take charge of the Mexican team Juárez, a rival of Toluca, where Paulinho, a former forward of Clube de Alvalade, plays, who recently sent a 'message' to Roberto Martínez.

The Mexican press reports that the coach has an agreement to succeed Martín Varini, who will be managing Necaxa (13th in the Apertura Tournament). Next week will bring news regarding the future of Pedro Caixinha, who left Santos, Neymar's team, last April.

After failing to secure any victories in the first three rounds of the Brazilian championship, the São Paulo club announced the departure of the Portuguese coach. On the same day, Neymar, a player for the São Paulo team, made a point of leaving a message of gratitude to the coach.

If the agreement with Juárez is reached, the Portuguese coach will write his fourth chapter in Mexico, after managing Santos Laguna (2012-2015 and 2021/22) and Cruz Azul (2017-2019). The former lion was champion in 2015 and also won the Super Cup (2014/15 and 2018/19) and Cup (2014/15 and 2018/19).

Pedro Caixinha served as a scout in the 2003/04 season and was also an assistant coach in the following two seasons at Sporting. As a head coach, besides the Mexican clubs, he has managed Nacional and União de Leiria (Portugal), Al Gharafa (Qatar), Rangers (Scotland), Al Shabab (Saudi Arabia), Talleres (Argentina), Red Bull Bragantino, and Santos (Brazil).
