Mexico City, March 26 (Ians) Mexico manager Diego Cocca has called for patience as he seeks to instil a winning mentality in his squad ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Cocca marked his debut in the dugout for Mexico’s national men’s football team last Thursday by overseeing a 2-0 away victory over Suriname in the Concacaf Nations League, reports Xinhua.
The result left Mexico top of Group A with two wins and a draw from their first three games. El Tri will have the chance to move further ahead when they host Jamaica at the Azteca stadium in Mexico City.
“We are going to get things wrong sometimes. Not everything will turn out how we want it after just three or four days of training,” the 51-year-old said. “But I want an iron-will conviction about what I want to achieve. Later we will talk more about tactics, technique and strategy.

Mexico City, March 23 (Ians) Argentine manager Diego Cocca has promised to adopt an attacking playing style as he prepares for his first match in charge of Mexico’s national team.
Cocca will make his debut in the Mexico dugout when El Tri meet Suriname in Paramaribo’s Flora stadium in the Concacaf Nations League on Thursday.
“The way we play will determine the results that come,” Cocca told reporters.
“I don’t believe in winning at all costs. We are going to work together to develop the game plan that we’re looking for.”
Cocca was named Mexico manager in February, replacing compatriot Gerardo Martino, who departed after the team’s failure to progress beyond the group stage at the 2022 World Cup, a Xinhua report said.
The tournament in Qatar ended a run of seven consecutive World Cup editions in which Mexico reached the last 16.
