- Mexican manager Aguirre attends a press conference the day before the match against Japan (photo taken in September 2025)
The Japan national team (17th in the FIFA rankings) is facing the Mexico national team (13th in the FIFA rankings). The enemy general was coach Javier Aguirre (66), who once led Japan. He vigorously gave instructions on the sidelines, and when midfielder Doan was thrown in, he insisted to the lineman, “This is it.” As usual, the action is large, with the restart position lowered due to extremely detailed requests, and it is immediately making a presence.
The event was a huge hit on social media from the start. On X (formerly Twitter), he said, “Aguirre looks good, it's best,” “I miss Aguirre,” “Aguirre? It's Aguirre!” He almost cryed after seeing Aguirre for the first time in a while. Time passes quickly. I liked the days of Aguirre and Zack, and posted a series of posts such as “Nagatomo, who is still there, is amazing.”
“It's been a while since I saw Director Aguirre, but for a moment I thought it was Gerrardon Nishimoto,” “Has Aguirre such an attack Nishimoto?” and “Aguirre, is it too much of an attack Nishimoto? Is it just a crew cut?”, and the fact that he looks exactly like comedians.
As he posted, “I'm Mexican manager Aguirre. I was the coach of the Japanese national team a little bit,” he became the manager of the Japanese national team after the 2014 World Cup (World Cup). He led the Asian Cup Australia tournament in 2015, but was terminated in February of the same year after being accused by prosecutors of suspected involvement in match fixing during the Spanish league. He was acquitted in 2019.
He later became manager of his native Mexico for the third time. With his track record of leading him to the top 16 World Cups in the past two years, he is one of the most popular and highly regarded in the country as an Aguirre in times of trouble.
