The return of El Flaco

2 weeks after Marcelo Bielsa came out of meditation, another legendary Argentine coach, César Luis Menotti, came out of retirement to coach Mexican club Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara.

In 2007 clausura of Primera División de México, Guadalajara obtained first place in group 1, but was knocked out by América in semi final of the playoff.


In 2006, Menotti briefly took charge of another Mexican powerhouse CF Pachuca, that was the last time he was seen near a dugout. In the early 90s, Menotti coached Mexico national team for around a year, when the team was at its low after being disqualified from 1990 World Cup for cheating in FIFA's youth tournament. He turned the team around, and helped establish the image of El Tri today.
