Overview
- The Federación Mexicana de Futbol confirmed Sunday that Pol Lorente has officially concluded his role as the national team’s preparador físico.
- The FMF said institutional physical-preparation specialists will cover Mexico’s upcoming friendlies against Colombia, Peru, the United States and Chile while a replacement is recruited.
- Spanish outlets report Lorente is set to join Javier Aguirre’s staff at Valencia, but neither the FMF nor Valencia have formally confirmed that destination.
- Lorente had joined the Mexico setup in August 2024 and was presented on Rafael Márquez’s staff on August 28 to provide continuity from previous Aguirre-linked processes.
- The exit removes a continuity link ahead of Márquez’s first matches and could prompt a rapid hiring process by the FMF to protect player fitness and match readiness in the short term.
