Following the departure of Diego Cocca, Mexican club Atlas is actively searching for a new head coach. Among the candidates under consideration, the Argentine tactician Hernán Crespo has emerged as one of the most prominent names linked to the position.
Sources indicate that the club's management is seeking a coach with proven international experience and a history of winning trophies. While Martí Cifuentes was previously mentioned as a candidate for the coaching vacancy, he is reportedly no longer being considered for that specific role, although he remains a profile of interest for the position of Director of Youth Academies.
Hernán Crespo brings an extensive resume to the table, having managed clubs in South America, Europe, and Asia. His career highlights include winning the Copa Sudamericana with Defensa y Justicia, the Campeonato Paulista with São Paulo, the Qatar Stars League with Al-Duhail, and the AFC Champions League with Al-Ain.
The Argentine manager has developed a reputation for balancing the development of young players with the ability to compete for major honors. While no official deal has been confirmed, his track record and tactical profile align with the standards the Atlas leadership is aiming for in their next project.
