The Mexican Football Federation has officially named Rafael Marquez as the new head coach and selector for the national team. Marquez, who previously served as the assistant to current selector Javier Aguirre as of 2024, has signed a contract with the federation that extends through 2030.

In a statement regarding the announcement, Marquez expressed confidence in his professional growth. He stated that his relationship with the team would be mutually beneficial and described himself as a positive influence within Mexican football.
The selection of Marquez marks a significant shift in the team’s technical leadership. The federation’s rationale emphasizes that this appointment is a strategic measure aimed at implementing necessary changes to enhance the overall competitive level of the Mexican national team in preparation for upcoming international tournaments.
