Throughout the history of Blue cross in First Divisiononly 9 former players have had the opportunity to coach Machine and no one has been a champion. Four of them have even come to try to break the team’s 23-year drought with no title since then 1997.
Now Juan Reynoso is the tenth ex-element cement maker that arrives as DT and the fifth to arrive with the intention of ending the 25-year curse without being a champion. He Peruvian lived the last cement title when he was a starting player on the team of Luis Fernando Tena in the winter of 1997.
With DNA, but insufficient
The technicians who wore the jersey as players Machine and they failed in the attempt Enrique Meza, with 4 stages; Alberto Quintano, Héctor Pulido, Rubén Omar Romano, Benjamín Galindo, Robert Dante Siboldi and, with few games, Joaquín Moreno, Jesús del Muro and Miguel Marín.
While the choice of footballers to defend a club’s shirt as a technician appeals to them to learn a little more about the institution’s ideology, in the heavenly image This argument seems like an understatement, given that neither before the most recent cement championship nor after has a former player given glory Machine in First Division.
The Search for Winter 97
After the title of it Winter 1997, was the first former player to take the technical direction Enrique Meza, from March 2003 to March 2004. After one year The eyes was fired with a 59 percent ERA in what was his third stint on the bench.
Meza spent much of his career with Cruz Azul, as Miguel Marín’s replacement goalkeeper. yet he knew the ideology from head to toe and lived the golden age of the the seventies winning the titles of Mexico 1970, 1971-1972, 1972-1973, 1973-1974, 1978-1979 seasons.
Rubén Omar Romanole kept pace with Meza. For 2005, the Argentinian was named DT Blue cross. He played between 1992 and 1993, with a not-so-lucky move into midfield. That year Romano lived a kidnapping and could never consolidate with the team The Ferris wheel.
The failures continued and by 2008 the drought was already in the first decade. So the board decided to bring in another former player. In this case, a Benjamin Galindo appeared and received a year, from 2008 to 2009, with a 41 percent effectiveness that was insufficient to maintain confidence despite reaching the final of the At the end of 2008 that lost on penalties from Toluca. His resignation came about after he failed in the Closing 2009, on the penultimate date.
Again Meza took over from the team that promised it, as it was reinforced with elements such as Emanuel Villa and José de Jesús Corona. Meza took them back to League and previously took them to the 2019 Apertura Finals Monterrey that they lost again.
Enrique Meza was confident and continued through 2012 and the Apertura 2010 showed a powerful Blue Cross, listed as the best of recent years, but they were eliminated by Cougars in the quarter-finals. And in the Bicentennial 2010 that painful elimination was experienced earlier in the semi-finals Morelia, the same tragedy that experienced the next campaign.
Almost 10 years later and a catwalk of coaches, Machine he had another former player on board. Robert Dante Siboldi was hired in September 2019. Although he directed a contest in 2009 after the departure of Benjamin Galindo, the previous year was his first official opportunity. Siboldi defended the celestial arch in 93-94.
For him Opening 2019 does not classify the team in the Closing 2020 He performed better, but the pandemic and the cancellation of the tournament left DT Uruguayan without opportunities.
Already in the Guard1anes 2020 put the team back together and Stumbling between some sort of thing, he classified. They became favorites until they suffered one of the worst eliminations in their history.. Cougars gave the somersault never before seen in Liguilla from a 4-0 to level with 4-4 and derailed on penalties Machine.
Now Juan Reynoso arrives with the intention of breaking that negative streak for former players cement that have become DTs Machine.
The fact is, you don’t have to worry.
