Reports: Mauricio Ymay to Leave ESPN for TUDN on Nov. 1 to Cover Mexico National Team

Reports tie the change to a request from coach Javier Aguirre, raising questions about media independence.

Overview

  • Journalist Pepe Hanan posted on X that Ymay will join TUDN on November 1 to cover El Tri, a claim echoed by RÉCORD and Publimetro.
  • The reports say Ymay would replace Gibrán Araige as TUDN’s reporter assigned to the Mexico national team.
  • Multiple outlets attribute the proposed switch to a request from Javier Aguirre, according to Hanan’s account.
  • There has been no formal confirmation from TUDN, ESPN, Ymay or Aguirre in the coverage cited.
  • Ymay previously worked at TUDN from 2011 to 2018 before moving to ESPN in 2019, and RÉCORD had flagged his possible return in July.
