Gerardo Martino Tata, coach of Mexico, is among the six coaches with the top salary in the Qatar World Cup. “Tata” is by far the highest-paid coach in Concacaf.
The Mexican team is one of the teams that is called to face Concacaf football. However, Canada and the United States have shown better performance in recent matches. Gerardo Martino leads this process under a millionaire salary, which is one more example of money-buying results.
Clearly, there is concern among El Tri supporters. There is very little left for the start of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, and the Mexican team did not leave a good image in their last friendy match. So much of the responsibility falls on “Tata.”
The Argentine coach can boast that he has one of the highest salaries among the coaches participating in the Qatar World Cup. The South American is only surpassed by the coaches of the great powers of European football and “Tite,” the great leader of the Canarinha. In this sense, the question arises if the veteran coach of Mexico has done justice to be among the best unemployed in the World Cup.
