Mexico national team sporting director Duilio Davino has confirmed El Tri legend Rafael Márquez has already signed his contract to take over as Mexico’s manager from Javier Aguirre following the 2026 World Cup.
Márquez is unanimously accepted as one of the greatest players Mexico has ever produced, captaining El Tri in five different World Cups—twice playing under Aguirre. Now, he’s been chosen to lead Mexico towards the 2030 World Cup in what will be the 47-year-old’s first senior managerial role of his career.
