Pol Lorente has ended his tenure as fitness coach of the Mexico national team. The Mexican Football Federation made the announcement official on Saturday, thanking him for his commitment over the two years he was part of the institution, having joined in August 2024.
The departure of the Catalan coach comes at a key moment. The team, now under the guidance of newly presented manager Rafael Márquez, must now seek a replacement. The sporting direction, together with the manager, is already working to incorporate the best profile into the technical group.
Upcoming Fixtures
For the September and October FIFA window, physical preparation will be handled by specialists within the institutional structure of the national teams. The Federation stated in a release: "For the September and October FIFA window, in which Mexico will face Colombia, Peru, United States and Chile, the physical preparation of the team will be the responsibility of the specialists who are part of the institutional structure of the national teams."
The first challenge is next Thursday, September 26, a friendly at home against Colombia. The national team arrives with a positive record in its last five matches, with four wins and only one defeat to England in July.
Lorente's Future
Following his exit, Pol Lorente is set to join Javier Aguirre at Valencia. The fitness coach previously worked with the Mexican manager during his time at Mallorca. His extensive experience with Spanish clubs will now be an asset for the Valencian side.
Meanwhile, the Mexican national team continues its renewal process under Márquez. The appointment of the new fitness coach will be announced once the selection process concludes. The Federation concluded by thanking Lorente: "The Mexican Football Federation informs that Pol Lorente concludes his stage as fitness coach of the Mexico national team."
