Pedro Caixinha, the Portuguese former manager of Santos Laguna and Cruz Azul, is in a position to return to Liga MX to lead a supposed project at FC Juarez, according to various sources. Unofficial reports indicate that a pre-contractual agreement already exists. Despite the fact that the border team is currently battling for a playoff spot against Pachuca in the Play-In stage, this rumor has gained considerable traction in circles close to the Bravos' management, headed by businesswoman Alejandra de la Vega. Reports suggest that the Portuguese coach and the Bravos' management have already agreed on all points, awaiting the conclusion of the team's participation in the Play-In or the playoffs under the leadership of Uruguayan Martin Varini. The departure of the Uruguayan strategist from FC Juarez seems a foregone conclusion, after it was revealed that Necaxa is ready to acquire the Uruguayan's services to try and surpass the performance the Rayos had under the leadership of Argentine Fernando Gago. Caixinha is familiar with the league. MX

Pedro Caixinha is a coach who knows Liga MX and, above all, the work ethic and character of Mexican players. Therefore, his hiring is a positive development for a team that has consistently aimed for the top spots but, for one reason or another, has fallen short.

It should be noted that the Portuguese coach won the Liga MX title in the 2015 Clausura tournament with Santos Laguna, defeating Queretaro's Gallos Blancos, who featured Brazilian star Ronaldinho Gaucho. With Cruz Azul, he won the Copa MX in the 2018 Apertura tournament, beating Monterrey 2-0.

His last three teams were Talleres de Cordoba in Argentina, and Bragantino and Santos in Brazil, demonstrating his ability to adapt to different projects around the world.
