Bora Milutinovic Rebukes Faitelson, Says Chivas’ No-Foreign Policy Puts Club at ‘Enormous Disadvantage’

The five-time World Cup coach used a 'Maserati vs. normal car' analogy on TUDN to argue for higher ambitions in Mexican football.

Overview

  • During an interview on TUDN’s Faitelson Sin Censura, Milutinovic scolded David Faitelson for pessimism about the Mexico national team and urged belief ahead of 2026.
  • He argued that Chivas cannot be fairly compared with Liga MX rivals because clubs using eight or nine foreign players enjoy a significant advantage.
  • He likened the gap to comparing a team with a Maserati to one with a normal car, calling the restriction a practical obstacle to competing at the same level.
  • He cited past foreign stars such as Cabinho, Spencer, Cándido, Muñante and Carlos Reinoso as examples of talent that elevated the league’s standard.
  • He contrasted Mexico’s football passion with that of several South American countries and, as of the reports, no official response or policy change from Chivas or Liga MX had been announced.
