The De la Torre dynasty pictured from left to right; Chepo, Nestor, and Yayo appear ready to conquer Mexican football. With Nestor de la Torre's recent assignment as the Mexican Football Federation’s (FMF) new director of the national team committee the table seems set for a Chivas takeover.
“Having worked with Jorge Vergara does not mean that I arrived because of him,” claimed Nestor upon his presentation. “I am no longer part of the Chivas institution and you know what that team means to me. I am not here to be anyone’s puppet,” proclaimed Nestor, who had served as vice president of club Guadalajara.
Despite Nestor’s claims Vergara’s influence has come a long way in making drastic changes within the FMF and his recent assignment will forever be linked to the Chivas owner. That said; Yayo and Chepo can not be far behind. Yayo, once proclaimed as the best coach in the world by Vergara, is currently Cruz Azul’s sporting director. It is too early to tell if he will ever make a move to be part of the FMF but one thing is for sure, Nestor can count on his vote of confidence.
As for Chepo, according to legend and Wikipedia, he is the youngest coach to win a Mexican League championship in the last decade at age 40 years & 27 days. Chepo helped guide Guadalajara to their 11th championship making Chivas the most successful Club in the Mexican first division. As head coach of Toluca Chepo has won his second league championship and currently has the Diablos Rojos atop the table with a ten match undefeated streak; a third title for Chepo could very well be a reality. Chepo’s short term success can also help catapult him to the reigns of the Mexican National Team.
